Se inensifican las protestas en Irán

By Jordi Bou

October 27, 2022 - El regimen clerical de Irán ha enfrentado una de las mayores protestas desde el inicio de las manifestaciones antigubernamentales hace seis semanas a raíz de la muerte de la joven de 22 años Mahsa Amin, quien fue asesinada estando bajo custodia de las autoridades después de ser detenida por usar "atuendo inapropiado".

Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in all major cities, as well as other places where demonstrations had subsided recently.

The escalation came after protesters marked 40 days since Amini died, sparking the unrest.

It is the most serious challenge to the Islamic republic since its inception.

Norway-based Iran Human Rights says at least 234 protesters, including 29 children, have been killed by security forces in crackdowns so far. Iran's leaders have portrayed the unrest as "riots" fomented by foreigners.
