Good morning.
The nationwide protests in Iran, sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, following her arrest by the moral police (which we reported on here last week), have entered their third week and show no signs of abating. Iran’s president said the government would not settle for chaos in the streets, an all-too-clear indication that the violent repression of the protests will continue.
However, Iran’s well-oiled state apparatus for suppressing dissent has failed to quell protests or undermine protesters’ morale. In fact, he added fuel to the fire. And on Thursday, the mother of a teenager who died after joining the protests accused the government of murdering her daughter and pressuring her to say she had committed suicide.
