As the Islamic Republic continues its harsh crackdown on dissidents and protesters after Mahsa Amini died under the custody of the Iranian morality police in September 2022, many Iranians are relentless in finding ways to continue their fight against the regime. They discovered a new way to fight against the country’s theocratic government: singing and dancing.
An Iranian man who was previously convicted and sentenced to death for killing a member of the Iranian security forces during the massive protests in 2022 has been secretly executed, according to various informed sources.
21-year-old Milad Zohrevand was executed on the morning of November 23rd at a prison in the western city of Hamadan. Norway-based Hengaw, an organization that focuses on the human rights conditions of the Kurdish minority in Iran, said they received reports that Zohrevand was executed.
A 14-year-old girl was killed by her brother in Iran while seeking a divorce, reflecting the violent culture of honor killings in the Islamic Republic.
After he was sentenced to death in January for allegedly burning the Quran, 35-year-old Javad Rouhi mysteriously died while under the custody of the Iranian authorities, sparking anger among Iranians at a time when the first anniversary of the protests triggered by Mahsa Amini’s death is fast approaching.
The Islamic Republic is ramping up its efforts to suppress dissent in Iran as the anniversary of the protests that were sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini on September 16, 2022, with the arrest and imprisonment of at least 22 activists, mostly women, in less than a month, according to the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI).
The Islamic Republic’s fight against the opposition in Iran continues as the regime is persistent in its efforts to strictly enforce its mandatory Islamic dress code to hundreds of thousands of Iranian women who continue to defy them. As the Iranian regime shows no signs of backing down, businesses have become the new battlefield in this war.
