<<Iran protests reignite at funerals and commemorations for those killed.
Protests against the Iranian government have suddenly regained momentum as funerals for those killed and a highly emotional commemoration of the movement have stretched security forces drawn into a further cycle of arrests and repression. Dozens of towns were rocked by protests on Wednesday night as mainly young crowds used the cover of darkness to mark the 40th day since Mahsa Amini, a young Kurdish woman, died in police custody, sparking unprecedented unrest. Official state news agencies focused on an unrelated attack that left as many as 15 people dead and 30 injured after three extremists fired at pilgrims inside the Shah Cheragh, or Emperor of the Night shrine, in Shiraz. Protesters appeared to have taken control on Thursday of Mahabad, a heavily Kurdish city of about 200,000 people close to the border with Iraq. The unrest boiled over when a 35-year-old Kurdish man named as Ismaeli Maludi was shot dead on Wednesday, reportedly by direct fire from government forces, according to Hengaw, a Norway-based group that monitors rights violations in Iran's Kurdish regions. Another protester was shot in nearby Sanandaj. After Maludi's funeral on Thursday a crowd attacked a police station and the governor's office chanting <death to the dictator> and <Kurdistan, the graveyard of fascists.> Grainy video appears to show the streets packed with protesters, a bank enveloped in smoke and the police station in flames.
Official news agencies said the protesters had smashed windows in banks, the tax office and the civil registry, but denied the police station had been seized. All market activity had stopped on Thursday as the protests continued. The official news agency, however, reported: <The city is completely calm, and life is normal and the fire and rescue services are busy cleaning the city after the fires in rubbish bins.> Crowds also gathered at the burial site of Nika Shakarami, 16, who died on 20 September in Tehran. Officials said she had killed herself and had a history of depression. But video footage released by CNN appeared to support the claim that she may have been shot during the protests. The footage showed her hiding behind a car while fleeing the security forces and urging the driver: <Don't move, don't move.> Nika's aunt had urged crowds to come to her commemoration, but the security forces tried to block the roads.
Her family say the state buried her body without their permission in Vesian village in Khorramabad, the capital of Lorestan province. Chants of <Death to Khamenei> were heard at her memorial. Nika's mother, Nasrin, said in a speech: <I will for ever be in agony for your sufferings, but I love you. When I see that pure seed of your thinking - freedom, courage and honour blossoms in the hearts of other loved ones, I am happy and grateful.> Nasrin previously gave an interview to BBC Persian in which she said: <Like Nika, I have been against compulsory hijab since I was a child. But my generation was not brave enough to protest. People my age accepted years of suppression, intimidation and humiliation, but my daughter protested and she had every right to do so.> Iranian human rights groups said there were unconfirmed reports that some members of Amini's family were under house arrest, but Reuters was unable to verify the reports.
The protests have also taken on a more explicitly anti-clerical flavour.>>

<<US special envoy for Iran: 'We're announcing a slew of new sanctions'.
In an interview with FRANCE 24, the US special envoy for Iran announced <a slew of new sanctions> on Iranian officials who are <directly involved> in the current deadly crackdown on protesters. Robert Malley was speaking 40 days after the death in police custody of Mahsa Amini, a young woman arrested for improperly wearing her headscarf and whose shocking fate set off a wave of anti-regime demonstrations in Iran. Asked about the stalled, indirect talks to revive the 2015 nuclear Iran deal, Malley said that they are <not on the agenda>, adding that <there's been no movement since September.> >>

<<Clashes erupt between Iranian security forces and protesters marking Mahsa Amini's death.
Iranian security forces opened fire on protesters who massed in their thousands on Wednesday in Mahsa Amini's hometown to mark 40 days since her death, a human rights group said. <Security forces have shot tear gas and opened fire on people in Zindan square, Saqez city,> Hengaw, a Norway-based group that monitors rights violations in Iran's Kurdish regions, tweeted without specifying whether there were any dead or wounded. Iranian security forces opened fire on protesters who massed in their thousands on Wednesday in Mahsa Amini's hometown to mark 40 days since her death, a human rights group said. The claim was supported by a witness Reuters spoke to. <The riot police shot mourners who gathered at the cemetery for Mahsa's memorial ceremony ... dozens have been arrested,> the witness said. Despite heightened security measures, columns of mourners had poured into Saqez in the western Kurdistan province to pay tribute to Amini at her grave at the end of the traditional mourning period. Iran's semi-official ISNA news agency confirmed clashes were taking place in Saqez and that the internet had been cut in the city for <security reasons>, but did not mention the shooting claim. <A limited number of those present at Mahsa Amini's memorial clashed with police forces on the out-skirts of Saqez and were dispersed. Following the scattered clashes, internet in Saqez was cut off due to security considerations,> the agency reported, adding about 10,000 people had gathered.
Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian of Kurdish origin, died on September 16, three days after her arrest in Tehran by the notorious morality police for allegedly breaching the Islamic dress code for women. Anger flared at her funeral last month and quickly sparked the biggest wave of protests to rock the Islamic republic in almost three years. Young women have led the charge, burning their hijab headscarves and confronting security forces. <Death to the dictator,> mourners chanted at the Aichi cemetery outside Saqez, before many were seen heading to the governor's office in the city centre. Iran's Fars news agency said around 2,000 people gathered in Saqez and chanted <Woman, life, freedom>.
But thousands more were seen making their way in cars, on motor-bikes and on foot along a highway, through fields and even across a river, in videos widely shared online by activists and rights groups.
This is a stunning video of thousands of people who walk from #Saqez towards #MahsaAmini's cemetery on the 40th day after her death, despite limitations created by authorities. Noisily clapping, shouting and honking car horns, mourners packed the highway linking Saqez to the cemetery eight kilometres (five miles) away, in images that Hengaw told AFP it had verified.
'Year of blood'
<This year is the year of blood, Seyed Ali will be toppled,> a group of them chanted in a video verified by AFP, referring to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. <Kurdistan, Kurdistan, the graveyard of fascists,> others were heard singing in a video shared by activists on Twitter. AFP was unable to immediately verify the footage. Hengaw said strikes were under way in Saqez as well as Divandarreh, Marivan, Kamyaran and Sanandaj, and in Javanrud and Ravansar in the western province of Kermanshah.>>

<<French feminists mobilise in solidarity with Iranian protesters.
A fortnight following Mahsa Amini's death in Iran, several French feminist groups demonstrated on Friday evening in Paris in support of Iranian women and called on President Emmanuel Macron to take a stand. Protests sparked by the death of 22-year-old Amini, who was arrested by Iran's morality police for a <badly worn> headscarf, have spiralled into the biggest show of opposition to Iran's clerical autho-rities since 2019 - fuelling calls for more support from feminist groups and politicians abroad. In France, several women's rights groups posted a statement on social media on Friday calling for rallies in support of Iranian women. <Internet access has been limited in Iran, so we have a role to play in relaying the messages of Iranian men and women here and amplifying their actions,> said Fabienne El-Khoury, the spokeswoman for feminist group Osez le Feminisme, which co-organised a protest in Paris on Friday. The group's Instagram page has been sharing videos of Iranian women dancing and throwing their veils into a fire. <When we protest here [in France], we do not fear for our lives. We salute the courage of Iranian women who are playing their part by taking to the streets and continuing to unveil themselves pub-licly to call for equality and social justice in a country where women's bodies are controlled by the state,> El-Khoury added. Iran's Islamic Republic forces women to cover their bodies and hair in public. They are not allowed to wear tight trousers or jeans with holes in them either. Dancing in public or in the presence of men is also forbidden, as is singing, unless their voices are used as backing vocals in traditional orchestras or for male singers.

Since the start of the unrest, several female protesters, as well as men who came to support them, have been killed in a violent crackdown led by Iranian security forces - 76 according to the Iranian NGO Iran Human Rights and at least 52 according to Amnesty International. One of the Iranian victims, a 22-year-old woman named Hadis Najafi, was shot several times in the face and neck while protesting in the Tehran suburb of Karaj on September 21. Her photo, which has been widely shared on social media, made her a hero of a movement that persists despite the government crackdown.
Feminists urge Macron to end 'deafening silence'
Pointing to the mounting death toll in Iran, French women's rights groups on Friday urged President Emmanuel Macron to take a stand in support of Iranian protesters and end what they described as his <deafening silence> on the matter. The French head of state has been criticised for failing to condemn the attacks on women protestors in Iran when he met with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on the side-lines of the UN General Assembly in New York on September 20. After the meeting, the Elysee Palace said Macron had called for <transparent investigation> into Amini's death and urged Iranian authorities to uphold women's rights.>>
