The security authorities in Iran have committed to deal with the protests, which have been taking place since mid-last month in various parts of the nation, particularly at night.
According to statements made today, Wednesday, Qassem Ridai, the deputy commander of the Iranian Internal Security Forces, there is no space for protests that bring about “chaos, upheaval, and insecurity.”
Additionally, he emphasised that the security forces will never put up with demonstrators who advocate for such causes.
He emphasised that the activities of the “rioters,” as he referred to the demonstrators, would not go unanswered.
Following the confirmation on Tuesday that the Iranian government is employing violence against the protestors, a spokeswoman for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights demanded the immediate release of the detainees “arbitrarily” held in custody.
The International Child Rights Committee, on the other hand, emphasised that any “severe violations of children’s rights in Iran should be subject to an in-depth achievement by independent and neutral authorities. According to the report, during the recent nonviolent protests that erupted across the nation, at least 23 children were killed by Iranian security forces, while hundreds more were hurt, imprisoned, or subjected to torture.
According to reports, protests in Iran have continued ever since Amini passed away on September 16, 2022, three days after she was detained by the Ethics Police and taken to a hospital there.
Her passing has since stoked the flames of resentment over a number of issues, including the limitations placed on individual freedoms and the stringent regulations governing women’s attire, as well as the living and economic crisis that the Iranian people experience, not to mention the stringent regulations imposed by the government system and its political structure as a whole.
While purposely utilising repressive and violent tactics, the government has shut down the Internet, shot live ammunition at protesters, detained university students and even young children.
Once more, Iranian security has threatened the demonstrators: we will fight them.
