Muhsa Al-Amini was not the first woman to be killed by the Iranian regime, and it appears that she won’t be the last after a 16-year-old Iranian girl was assassinated by security personnel. The Iranian regime has a long history of abusing the rights of women, torturing them, and killing them.
The event happened in the city of Ardabel in the northwest because residents there refused to sing the pro-regime hymn as their school was being stormed.
The student, Israa Banahi, perished following a security raid on the Shahid Secondary School for Girls in Ardabel on October 13 when the students demanded the singing of an anthem honouring the Iranian Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, according to the Coordination Council for Iranian Teachers Syndicates.
The Coordination Council for Teacher Syndicate in Iran stated in a Telegram post that pupils from Shahid Secondary School were taken to a pro-government rally and asked to chant a song praising Khamenei and the Iranian government by city officials.
Security officers attacked the students after they resisted and refused to sing the national anthem, striking many of them and escorting 10 kids to an unidentified place while injuring 7 other girls.
According to the “Guardian” publication, Banahi passed away in the hospital on October 14 as a result of the beating he received from the regime’s security personnel.
After films of classrooms were distributed to pupils, schoolgirls suddenly emerged as a powerful force, waving their veils in the air, downloading images of Iran’s supreme leader, and screaming the regime’s demands to leave the country and support the late Amine.
The Iranian authorities responded by launching a series of raids on schools throughout the country last week, as the officers stormed classes, as they violently arrested school girls and pushed them to cars, and fired tear gas at school buildings.
In a statement released on Sunday, the Iranian Teachers Syndicate denounced the “brutal, barbaric” raids and demanded the resignation of Youssef Nuri, the Minister of Education.
According to The Guardian newspaper, the news of Banhi’s passing inspired more schoolchildren nationwide to participate in the protests over the weekend.
Narges, a 19-year-old who joined the protests, has rubber bullet wounds to her back and legs.
According to Narges, despite the danger, she and her friends’ decision to continue protesting was motivated by the death of Banahi.
She continued by saying that Labnahi’s experience, together with the deaths of two other students, Nika Shahrami, 17, and Sarina Ismail Zadeh, 16, by Iranian security forces, brought young people from all around the nation together around a shared problem.
“It’s not simply that Isra died. Despite our protests, Iran has been murdering our people for 40 years. Let the world know that we are calling for a revolution and that this is no longer a protest. We won’t stop now that you have all heard what we have to say.
“With international support for Iranian protestors, the widespread demonstrations demanding for the overthrow of the Iranian regime and denouncing its harsh crackdown have continued for more than a month.
A student was murdered because she disobeyed the Iranian regime’s anthem.
