Tehran: Heartbreaking deaths are occurring daily as a result of the escalating anti-hijab protests in Iran.
The anti-hijab protests in Iran intensified following the death of a young woman named Masha Amini. More than 300 people lost their lives in this protest that lasted for more than two months. Up to 15,000 people have been arrested. Meanwhile, 20 of those arrested in the anti-hijab protest have been sentenced to death. Two of them were hanged in public last week. So far 400 people have been sentenced up to 10 years in prison.
In this situation, the youth who are involved in protests against the government of Iran are being subjected to violence every day. The recent death has shocked the people of the country.
Aida Rostami (36), a doctor, was involved in the anti-hijab protests and was treating injured protesters with the help of her group. In this situation, while her family reported that she was missing for a few days, she was brutally murdered and left lying on the road.
Human rights organizations and families there have said that Iran’s security forces are responsible for the brutal death of Aida, who did not like the fact that Aida helped the protesters, so Aida was killed.
At this stage, scenes of the families of those killed by the security forces dancing in front of them are also being staged here and there.
