The Iranian police killed 16 Kurdish civilians during the protests last week, which took place after the conclusion of the ceremonies commemorating the execution of the girl, Muhsa Amini. The Iranian rage, which the government and Iranian police have failed to contain, is now entering its second month without being stopped.
The list of Kurds who have fallen victim to Iranian repression includes both individuals who are targeted by the police and those who are killed in the street with live ammunition.
Earlier, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, through its leader Hussein Salami, issued a warning to the demonstrators not to go out to the streets and consider the Saturday “the last riots” in Iran, he said.
The arrival of the protest movement, which was sparked by the death of Misha, Amani, in its seventh week, coincided with the Iranian security forces targeting a hospital and student housing, according to a human rights organisation.
Hussein Salami, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, informed the protesters that Saturday would be their final opportunity to take to the streets. Don’t go to the streets, he said. Today is the last riot.
Human rights organisations reported that thousands of Iranians were detained and that at least 250 protesters were slain. Social media users shared images of Friday demonstrators yelling for the death of the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader, and the Basij forces, who were instrumental in putting an end to the demonstrations.
According to a human rights organisation, the Iranian security forces targeted a hospital and a student resident on Saturday, just as the protest movement that led to Misha Amini’s death entered its seventh week.
During a ceremony held on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the killing of a protester in the city of Diwanah (west), the protesters chanted “death for the dictator”, a slogan targeting the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei..
