Iranian authorities said three people including a member of the security forces had been killed on Tuesday during unrest sweeping the country, as anger at the death of a woman in the custody of the morality police fuelled protests for a fifth day.

Official sources now say a total of seven people have been killed since protests erupted on Saturday over the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old from Iranian Kurdistan who died last week after being arrested in Tehran for "unsuitable attire".

Call her an insurrectionist and change the name of the morality police to the "social justice community organizers" and Biden would lift sanctions immediately.

‘arrested for unsuitable attire’

So they took her to the police station and raped her non-stop by the entire police force and Iman’s that were present so as to demonstrated the mercy of Allah in allowing her to correct her wayward ways. The night shift was unhappy in that they did not get their turn. They then fanned out around the city to find another young (five year old’s are the lower limit) and pretty females (or other) that needs the merciful hand of correction

It would be nice if this winds up leading to the overthrow of the Mullahs.

I assume the Iranian populace has no guns.
So they’re likely powerless to do much of anything.

They managed to overthrow the Shah in the late 70’s, and that started out with non-violent protests too. If there’s sufficient public opposition anything can happen.

Protests only work against people who care.

Wake me when they start assassinating clerics and burning mosques.

“why do they seem to only protest during a dem presidency”

2019 had very large violent protests. 1500 protesters killed by estimates.

What happening now is even bigger
