At Least 8 Protesters Killed In Iran Crackdown Since Wednesday: Amnesty

 


According to human rights NGO Amnesty International, Iranian security forces have killed at least eight people since Wednesday evening as they continued a deadly crackdown against nearly six weeks of women-led anti-hijab and anti-government protests.

Amnesty condemned the "reckless and unlawful use of firearms.” The NGO said on Thursday, "Iran's security forces have killed at least eight people since last night as they again opened fire on mourners and protesters.”

Iranian security forces reportedly opened fire on protesters who marched on Wednesday in Mahsa Amini's hometown Saqqez to mark 40 days since her death. They reportedly clashed with people taking part in a memorial for Mahsa Amini.

Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish woman from Saqqez, died in a hospital in Tehran on September 16 after being detained by Iranian morality police for allegedly wearing improper hijab. They arrested her on September 13 for allegedly wearing a loose Hijab. They took her to the detention centre to teach her a lesson about Hijab. However, she collapsed at the detention centre and went into a coma. Her family alleged that security forces beat her at the detention centre and she lost consciousness. Iranian morality police and security forces denied those allegations and said that Amni died due to pre-existing health conditions. Later on, Amini’s family challenged a state investigation that blamed pre-existing conditions for her death.

After her death, major protests erupted in several cities in Iran. Women, men, school students and University students also participated in the protests. Women chopped off their hair to demand justice for women. Several people burned posters of Iranian leaders to protest against Amini’s death.

Many women took to the streets demanding the downfall of the Supreme Leader of Iran. Many people accused the Iranian authorities of killing Amini. They also accused Iranian officials of arresting protesters and killing them.

“Iraq is Utilizing What They Have Right Now”

Here’s something good that I want to share with what I read today. It’s about  how Iraq utilizes a decentralized arrangement of administration, the Gulf countries and their organizations can investigate such financial possibilities with different individual Iraqi governorates, directed by the national government. This can likewise make a sound rivalry among Iraqi governorates to offer better costs and more good arrangements with Gulf organizations, as the two sides advantage. For me, Iraq needs huge monetary and monetary support. Monetary guide bundles can just reduce some tension on the present moment. Aside from Iran, there is insignificant territorial interest in Iraq's private area. Tehran's interest in Iraq has not given remarkable monetary advantages, for the most part because of authorizations. Inlet countries ought to investigate Iraq as a feasible competitor for their business ventures, and they can even use Jordan as a middle person to shape a solid financial ternio...
