News from Al-Madinah: After the Iranian government repeatedly threatened protesters, security forces opened fire on a number of demonstrators today, Saturday, during the funeral of Mahdid Shahidi, one of the detainees, in the city of Arak, in the country’s centre.
Death to the Revolutionary Guards and “Death to the dictator,” a reference to Ali Khamenei, were chanted by mourners in the video recordings.
According to the “International International,” once the burial erupted into an anti-government demonstration, the security personnel attacked them while the bullets flew.
His death by torture after being arrested was previously confirmed by the deceased’s family.
While the Iranian authorities asked his parents to say that he had suffered a stroke of fear, but they refused, stressing that their son was killed under torture.
These developments came to warn the commander of the Revolutionary Guards, Hussein Salami, the demonstrators that today will be the last day to go out to the streets. The last riot was today, he warned, so stay indoors.
It is significant that after Mhisa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, died on September 16 in Iran, 3 days after her arrest by the Ethics Police, there have been unheard-of rallies in Iran since 2019, in which many enraged young people from all social strata have taken part.
Since the 1979 revolution, this was one of the most audacious tests for the authorities and the powerful clergy.
However, the security forces violently confronted them, killing hundreds of protesters, as a number of human rights organizations confirmed the killing of at least 250 protesters, while thousands were arrested throughout Iran.
