Iranian govt encounters hardship to contain restlessness as it slops to more towns and cities: Hijab case


The large-scale rallies against the Iranian government over the custodial death of a 22-year-old Kurdish lady who was charged by the country's infamous "morality" police for allegedly breaking the strict law on headscarves have reportedly extended to about 80 metropolia and towns.

Hundreds of protesters, especially women, took to the roads following the death of Mahsa Amini - a Kurd native, chiming with anti-government slogans that targeted the heart of the Islamic regime and its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The death toll in the violent conflicts with security forces has gone as high as 26, Iranian state TV showed on Friday. The unrest declared the most destructive in recent years, has also applied to about 80 Iranian cities and towns.

At least five safety personnel have also been killed and several others hurt while trying to engage protesters in Mashhad, Tabriz, Quchan, Shiraz, and Karaj.

In the past daytimes, some protesting ladies have set their headscarves on fire on the roads in what can be described as an unusual act of disobedience, while men burned flags of the Supreme Leader in several towns including the holy cities of Qom and Isfahan.
