<<Iran to hold public trials for 1,000 people involved in Mahsa Amini
protests.
Iranian authorities announced on Monday they will hold public trials for
1,000 people in the capital, Tehran, over the protests that have
convulsed the country. The mass indictments mark the government's first
major legal action aimed at quashing dissent since unrest erupted over
six weeks ago. Iran's state-run IRNA news agency quoted judicial
officials as saying that a thousand people who had a central role in the
protests would be brought to trial in Tehran alone over their <subversive
actions,> including assaulting security guards, setting fire to public
property and other accusations. The nationwide protests first erupted
over the Sept. 16 death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in the custody of the
country's morality police. She was detained for allegedly violating
Iran's strict dress code for wom-en. Although the protests first focused
on Iran's mandatory head-scarf, or hijab, they have since transformed
into one of the greatest challenges to the ruling clerics since the
chaotic years following the 1979 Islamic Revolution. <Those who intend
to confront and subvert the regime are dependent on foreigners and will
be punished accor-ding to legal standards,> said Iran's judiciary chief,
Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Ejei, indicating that some protesters would be
charged with collaborating with foreign governments. Tehran officials
have repea-ted unsupported claims that Iran's foreign enemies have
fomented the unrest. <Without a doubt, our judges will deal with the
cases of the recent riots with accuracy and speed,> he said. Security
forces have dispersed gatherings with live ammunition and tear gas over
the weeks of sustained protests. At least 270 people have been killed
and 14,000 arrested, according to the group Human Rights Activists in
Iran. Demonstrations have continued - even as the feared paramilitary
Revolutionary Guard has warned young Iranians to stop.

Judicial authorities have announced charges against hundreds of people
in other Iranian provinces. Some have been accused of <corruption on
earth> and <war against God,> offenses that carry the death penalty.>>

<<Iranians hold large rallies in defiance of warning by
Revolutionary Guards head.
Thousands of Iranians have demonstrated in defiance of a final
warning by the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC)
that he would bring protests to an end with unprecedented force. Rallies
were held on the streets on Sunday to protest against raids on student
dormitories over the weekend in which students were taken away in buses
to state detention. Some were sent text messages saying they were banned
from campus indefinitely. Some of the crowds appeared to be the largest
since the protests began more than five weeks ago over the death of the
22-year-old Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini while in police custody. Amini had
been arrested by the <morality police> for not wearing a headscarf. Maj
Gen Hossein Salami, the IRGC's commander-in-chief, had warned on
Saturday that that would be the last day of <riots>. The largest
gathering was at the central Tehran branch of Islamic Azad Univer-sity,
but other protests occurred on the university's North Tehran campus.
Security forces responded by using teargas and firing pellet guns.
Students at Qazvin International University chanted the slogan: <From
Zahedan to Shiraz, I sacrifice my life for Iran.> At Mazandaran
University, the crowds chanted: <If we do not stand together, we are
killed one by one.> At some universities, students had dismantled
partition walls in canteens put there to separate men and women.
Restrictions on media access made it hard to judge the breadth of the
protests, but they appeared larger and more defiant than ever.
Supporters of the regime insisted only a small minority were protesting,
but acknowledged they have continued far longer than they expected. The
IRGC and the Basij, a paramilitary police force, were true to their word
on Saturday, entering a number of campuses in an attempt to arrest
students that they had on their lists, sometimes as many as 100. The
security forces were also seeking the cooperation of authorities to lock
the gates of uni-versities and only let out those not listed for arrest.
As part of the crackdown, authorities arrested the protest rapper Tomaj
Salehi, releasing a photo of him blindfolded in the back of a car. They
claimed he had been arrested as he tried to leave the country, a claim
challenged by his family, who said he had been captured at his home in
Bakhtiari province. The prosecutor accused him of <propaganda activity
against the system>. The new surge in protests has been prompted by
emotional 40th-day commemorations of demonstrators killed in the initial
wave of rallies, leaving Iran locked in a cycle of violence and dissent.

<<Iran protesters rally again despite Guards order to stand down.
Amini, 22, died in custody on September 16 after her arrest in
Tehran for an alleged breach of Iran's strict dress rules for women,
triggering a wave of unrest and a state response on the <riots>> that
Amnesty International calls a <brutal crackdown>. Security forces on
Sunday fired gunshots and tear gas at a gathering of students in the
flashpoint western city of Sanandaj, where videos showed billowing
clouds of smoke amid chants of <freedom>, the Norway-based Hengaw
organisation reported. It also posted a video with the sound of echoing
gunfire, and of a 12-year-old girl wailing with her bloody arm peppered
with metal pellets, in reports AFP could not indepen-dently verify.
Security forces have struggled to contain the protests, which started
with women taking to the streets and burning their hijab headscarves and
which have evolved into a broader campaign to end the Islamic republic
founded in 1979.
Over 160 killed
Students had protested on Saturday at campuses in Tehran, Kerman
in the country's south, and the western city of Kermanshah, among
others, online videos showed. <Each person getting killed is followed by
a thousand people!> protesters shouted at the funeral of a de-monstrator
on Saturday in Arak, southwest of Tehran, footage publi-shed by the
1500tasvir social media channel showed, adding that the crowd was later
dispersed with tear gas. Demonstrations on Sunday were reported in
multiple universities including the capital as well as in Mazandaran and
Mashhad, where Oslo-based group Iran Human Rights (IHR) said crowds
chanted <Death to the dictator>. IHR said Friday that at least 160
protesters, including more than two dozen children, had been killed
since protests began. At least another 93 people were killed during
separate demonstrations that erupted on September 30 in the southeastern
city of Zahedan over the reported rape of a teenage girl by a police
commander, according to the rights group. In Amini's hometown of Saqez,
security forces in plain clothes broke up a protest at a vocational
college, where officers <attacked the students and abducted a number of
them>, Hengaw said.
Journalist protest
Hundreds have been detained, and on Sunday more than 300 Iranian
journalists and photojournalists signed a statement condemning
authorities for <arresting colleagues and stripping them of their civil
rights after their detentions>. Reformist daily Sazandegi said Sunday
that <more than 20 journalists are still in detention>, while the Tehran
journalists' association dismissed the <security approach> as <illegal>
and <in conflict with press freedom>.>>

<<Iran's Guards chief warns protesters: 'Today is last day of
riots'
The head of Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards warned
protesters that Saturday would be their last day of taking to the
streets, in a sign that security forces may intensify their fierce
crackdown on unrest sweeping the country. Iran has been gripped by
protests since the death of 22-year-old Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini in the
custody of the morality police last month, posing one of the boldest
challenges to the clerical leadership since the 1979 revolution.
<Do not come to the streets! Today is the last day of the riots,>
Guards commander Hossein Salami said in some of the toughest language
used in the crisis, which Iran's clerical leadership blames on its
foreign enemies including Israel and the United States. <This sinister
plan, is a plan hatched ... in the White House and the Zionist regime,>
Salami said. Iranians have defied such warnings throughout the popular
revolt in which women have played a prominent role. There were more
reports of fresh bloodshed on Saturday. Human rights group Hengaw
reported security forces shooting students at a girl's school in the
city of Saqez. In another post it said security forces opened fire on
students at Kurdistan University of Medical Science, in the Kurdistan
provincial capital of Sanandaj. Several students were injured, one of
them shot in the head, Hengaw said. Reuters could not verify this
report. The widely feared Revolutionary Guards, who report directly to
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have not been deployed since
demonstrations began last month. They are an elite force with a track
record of crushing dissent. Rights groups have said at least 250
protesters have been killed and thousands arrested across Iran in the
protests. On Friday, video footage on social media showed protesters
calling for the death of Khamenei and the Basij militia, which has
played a major role in efforts to quell demonstrations.

<<'People of Iran need Europe', former Iranian TV host Ehsan
Karami says
In an interview with FRANCE 24, former Iranian television host
Ehsan Karami says he has no desire to return to his homeland where the
government continues its harsh crackdown on mass protests sparked by the
death last month of Mahsa Amani. The 22-year-old woman died just days
after she was arrested and beaten by Iran's <morality police> for
allegedly wearing an <improper> hijab. Outrage over her killing has led
to protests worldwide - women chopped off their hair and many Muslim
women burned their hijabs.Karami, now living in California, says he is
determined to use his voice to support the Iranian people who have been
rising up in unprecedented numbers in defiance of Iran's repressive
regime.>>
