After the assisination of Jina Mahsa Amini by the 'morality
police' under the command of the dictator khamenei, immediately both the
Kurdish-Iranians as well as the Iranian women all joined by men protested
with a very clear shout: 'Down with the dictator'. They where and are
supported in this by unaccounted Kurdisch and Iranian women and men
spreaded out in more than a dozen mostly Western European countries and
other countries. Diplomaticly they find support from the United Nations
and the European Union
who demand a transparant and thorough investigation. I would not be
surprised if history is about to be written when the khamenei
dictatorship is about to be overtrown. Mind my words: Jina Mahsa Amini
will not have died in vain nor did all the protesters who died!

<<Iran protests over Mahsa Amini's death continue as rights group
reports dozens dead.
Protests continued in several cities across Iran on Thursday
against the death of a young woman in police custody, state and social
media reported, as a human rights group said at least 83 people had been
killed in nearly two weeks of demonstrations.
....
<At least 83 people including children, are confirmed to have
been killed in (the) #IranProtests,> Iran Human Rights, a Norway-based
group, said on Twitter. Despite the growing death toll and a fierce
crackdown by authorities, videos posted on Twitter showed demon-strators
calling for the fall of the clerical establishment in Tehran, Qom, Rasht,
Sanandaj, Masjed-i-Suleiman and other cities.>>

<<Death of Mahsa Amini Iran' State brutality and repression.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on Wednesday said that the death
of a young woman in custody had <saddened> everyone in the Islamic
Republic, but warned that <chaos> would not be accepted amid spreading
violent protests over Mahsa Amini's death. Amini's death two weeks ago
has sparked anti-government protests across Iran, with protesters often
calling for the end of the Islamic clerical establishment's more than
four decades in power. For more on Iran's worst unrest since 2009,
FRANCE 24 is joined by Javaid Rehman, UNHRC's Special Rapporteur on the
situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran. In his
capacity at the UN Human Rights Council, he has called for a
<transparent inquiry> that would lead to <accountability for the
perpetrators> for what he deems a <very serious criminal offense.> >>

<<Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe cuts her hair in protest over death
of Mahsa Amini.
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has filmed herself cutting her hair in
solidarity with protesters in Iran after the death of Mahsa Amini.
The past 11 days have seen significant unrest in the Middle
Eastern country after the death in custody of Amini, who had been
arrested on 13 September for allegedly wearing a hijab headscarf in an
impro-per way. In line with protesters in Iran, Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a
British-Iranian national who spent six years in jail in Iran, is seen
cutting her hair with scissors in footage given to BBC Persian. At the
end of the video, she said: <For my mother, for my daughter, for the
fear of solitary confinement, for the women of my country, for freedom.>
Zaghari-Ratcliffe was arrested in 2016 in Tehran while working as
a charity project manager. She was accused of spying by the country's
authorities which she denied. After a long-running campaign led by her
husband, Richard, and negotiation between the British and Iranian
governments, Zaghari-Ratcliffe returned home to the UK in March.>>

<<'Who's going to defend us?': Iran protest movement wins wave of
support in West.
The Iranian protesters who have demonstrated across the country
for 12 consecutive nights over the death of Mahsa Amini are keen to
amplify their message in the West as international observers focus on
the theocratic regime's repression of women.
Anger is only mounting among the Iranian protesters who have
defied a crackdown to decry Amini's death on September 16 in the custody
of the Islamic Republic's morality police. <We're like the Afghan women
the West has abandoned to the Taliban. Who's going to defend us in the
end? I saw how your president [France's Emmanuel Macron] treated
[Iranian President] Ebrahim Raisi with kid gloves at the UN,> said
Niloufar*, a protester in Tehran contacted by FRANCE 24. The 39-year-old
office worker has a bruise about 10 centimetres wide on her left arm, as
shown in a photo she has posted on social media. <I was hit by a baton;
the police officer was hitting me with all his strength,> Nilfour said.
She has been out protesting after work, night after night. <But what
I've been through is nothing compared to what others have suffered.
Today my arm has gotten better. But my heart is broken.> Ten days passed
before the French foreign ministry, the Quai d'Orsay, condemned the
Iranian authorities' violent response to the protests rocking Iran every
night. Although it decried Amini's death on September 19, it took until
September 26 for the Quai d'Orsay to release a comminique expressing
its <strongest condemnation> of the repression of demonstrations adding that Paris was examining, along with its European partners, the
<options available> in response to these rights abuses. Before that
French foreign ministry statement, Macron had met Iran's hardline
President Ebrahim Raisi on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in
New York. Macron expressed his <shock> over Amini's death in <morality
police> custody and demanded a <transparent in-vestigation>. The French
president also told the press that he had <insisted> that the Islamic
Republic respect women's rights.
But several of France's Western partners produced stronger
responses, notably Germany, which summoned the Iranian ambassador on
Monday about the crackdown, and Canada, which prepared sanctions on a
dozen Iranian officials and bodies including the morality police.
Meanwhile the protests and the repressive state response have continued
unabated. The exact number of victims remains unknown. According to
official figures, at least 41 people have been killed, including both
protesters and members of the security forces. The NGO Iran Human Rights
says at least 76 people have been killed in the protests.
Celebrity backing
News has filtered down more slowly than usual because the Iranian
authorities have restricted access to the Internet since September 21 to
prevent demonstrators from protesting on social media. Younger Iranians
in particular have been able to circumvent this by using VPNs and Tor
software but the con-nection can still be slow and random. Yet many
Iranians have managed to get around the censorship and amplify their
message among a Western audience horrified by events in Iran. On
Instagram, the most popular social network in Iran, protesters have
called on the Iranian diaspora to demand robust responses in the
countries where they live. That gives them quite a megaphone seeing as
more than four million Iranians live abroad. From Paris to London to
Berlin to Los Angeles to Santiago, many striking images in support of
Iranian protesters have done their rounds in the media. In just a few
days, more than 100 million tweets have gone out with the hashtag Mahsa
Amini in Farsi, helping make the young woman into an icon of resistance.
One of Iran's most fa-mous faces, Oscar winning film director Asghar
Farhadi, has called for people across the globe to support the
demonstators. <You must have heard recent news from Iran and seen images
of progressive and courageous women leading protests for their human
rights alongside men. They are looking for simple yet fundamental rights
that the state has denied them for years. This society, especially these
women, has traveled a harsh and painful path to this point, and now they
have clearly reached a landmark,> the filmmaker wrote in an Instagram
post.>>

<<Iran committed 'crimes against humanity' in 2019 crackdown:
lawyers.
Iran's government and security forces committed <crimes against
humanity> in their suppression of huge nationwide protests in 2019, an
international panel of lawyers probing the crackdown concluded on
Friday. The Iran Atrocities (Aban) Tribunal, which was convened by
various human rights groups, heard evidence from over 250 wit-nesses as
it investigated whether the Iranian regime broke inter-national law in
its response to the demonstrations. The protests, of a magnitude rarely
seen in Iran following the 1979 Islamic Revo-lution and being repeated
across the country in recent weeks, erupted nationwide in November 2019
after a sudden hike in fuel prices. Activists say the authorities
managed to impose control only after a ruthless crackdown that,
according to Amnesty International, left at least 304 people dead in a
deliberate policy to shoot at de-monstrators. The London tribunal said
expert evidence suggested that the actual number killed was likely far
larger and possibly as high as 1,515. <The panel unanimously finds...
beyond a reasonable doubt that the Iranian government and the security
forces designed and implemented a plan to commit crimes against
humanity,> the tribunal's six legal experts said in their judgment
summary. It found various branches of the regime -- from the interior
ministry to the feared Basij militia -- conducted murder, imprisonment,
enforced disappearances, torture and sexual violence to quell the
protests and conceal its crimes.
'Case to answer'
Five of the six serving as jurists also concluded that protestors
and bystanders were <discriminately targeted for their collective
involvement in the protests or their perceived association> with them.
They cited 161 people as perpetrators of the alleged crimes against
humanity, including supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, former
president Hassan Rouhani, and nearly a dozen other senior regime
figures.>>
