100 days have passed. Today, December 24th, marks the 100th day since the start of the protest movement in Iran.
These protests began following the death of Mahsa Amini after she was detained by the morality police and have continued in many parts of Iran. The protesters are demanding fundamental changes in their living conditions and the country’s governmental system.
Women, young people, 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 received broad 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 confrontations between government forces and protesters, several hundred people have been killed, and several thousand have been arrested and imprisoned. Some of the actions by these forces against the protesters have been unprecedented and have resulted in strong domestic and international condemnation.
During this period, internet connectivity has been weak in many areas and has been cut off in some instances.
