100 days have passed. Today, December 24, marks the hundredth day since the start of the protest movement in Iran.
These protests began following the death of Mahsa Amini after her arrest by the morality police and have continued in many parts of Iran. Protesters have been demanding fundamental changes in their living conditions and the country’s governmental system.
Women, youth, and students have been at the forefront of this movement.
During the current protests, Iran has witnessed the most widespread and prolonged demonstrations against the Islamic Republic. These protests have garnered extensive support from Iranians abroad, as well as expressions of solidarity from governments and prominent political, social, scientific, and artistic figures from various countries.
In the course of the violent clashes between government forces and protesters, several hundred people have been killed and several thousand have been arrested and imprisoned. Some of the actions taken by these forces against protesters have been unprecedented and have led to strong domestic and international condemnation.
During this period, internet connectivity has been weak in many areas and has been cut off in some instances.
