The 22-year-old's death in police custody sparked the protest chant: 'Woman, life, freedom!'
With women and young people often at the forefront, protesters targeted symbols of the Islamic Republic, burning pictures of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and chanting “Death to the Dictator”.Women, including schoolgirls, took off and burned headscarves, revolting against laws obliging women to cover their hair and wear loose-fitting clothes.
Authorities have imposed travel bans and jail terms on several public figures from athletes to actresses. Authorities have not given any official estimated death toll, but said dozens of the security forces were killed in the “riots”.Buttressed by the Revolutionary Guards, the ruling elite appears to remain deeply entrenched in power despite its initial difficulties in subduing the protests.
Outside Iran, Western countries imposed new sanctions on security forces and on dozens of Iranian officials over the protests, further straining already difficult ties.Recent actions by security forces suggest Iran’s rulers intend to brook no flicker of dissent as the anniversary of Amini’s death approaches.
