In that photograph, a young woman without a veil stood her hair over a car as thousands appeared to be making their way towards the Amani cemetery in the town of Saqz, defying the strict security measures and the bloody campaign The authorities launched against those demonstrations led by women. The photograph summarised a lot of what she carried and the protests that continued into her sixth week in Iran.
The triumph mark’s lever was raised as a symbol of Iranian youth’s will to demand their rights and to express their weariness from the oppression they experience in light of the implementation of stringent rules that do not apply to them.
According to videos posted on social media, hundreds of men and women who gathered in the Aiji graveyard yelled “Woman, Hayat, Freedom” and “Death for the Dictator.”
Others said, referring to the Iranian leader Ali Khamenei, “This year is the year of blood. Mr. Ali will fall.”
According to the non-governmental organisation “Henko,” which tracks human rights abuses in the Kurdistan governorate and is based in Norway, the demonstrators also included notable Iranian soccer players, including the great goal scorer Ali Daei and goalkeeper Hamid to you.
The strikes and market strikes spread to several cities in Kurdistan, including “Senndge, Saqz, Diwanah, Mariwan, and Camyran.”
On the other hand, “according to” Henkau, the security forces consciously used repressive tactics, fired tear gas, and opened fire on protesters in Zindan Square in the town of Saqz.
While the judiciary of the nation made accusations against about 300 detainees in connection with the actions, bringing the total number of accusers to over 1000.
Security services advised the Amini family not to organise any celebrations on the fortieth anniversary and ordered them to publish a statement asking people not to visit their burial because otherwise “they should worry for the life of their son!” Human rights activists earlier corroborated this.
