‘They Have Nothing to Lose’: Why Young Iranians Are Rising Up Once Again
Amid growing repression, a sickly economy and bleak prospects, the death of one young woman was all it took.
www.nytimes.com
- A young iranian woman's death triggered a series of protests in Iran. Because of the conservative Iranian government's strict surpressing religious policy, women's right in Iran has been hitting bottom, and now Iranian people try to move foward against their government. As the way they always did, the country is aggressively stopping the protests and disrupting internet services, many people got hurt along the way. This oppression only has made their anger stronger.
