Fourteen days past the tragic death of Mahsa Amini in police custody, Iran is still engulfed in angry protests.
Today we’re going to discuss how and why an innocent woman’s death sparked massive protests across the country, jolting the Iranian regime’s pillars of power.
The Guidance patrols’ ruthless brutality against a young woman, fracturing her skull and causing brain hemorrhage by the heavy blows of the baton to her head, acted as a trigger and a spark.
The powder keg is widespread discontent over the lack of freedoms, the bankrupt economy, corruption of the government, and frequent massive embezzlements, while people’s baskets are empty and poverty spreads with every passing day. This is the pent-up anger of 44 years under the mullahs’ rule.
That’s why young people and women do not let the protests die down after 14 days and keep going despite 300 people killed and 15,000 arrested. They are willing to pay the price to the end.
