#Iran #Protests
> > >, IT HAS BEEN A WEEK OF > > >. It HAS BEEN A WEEK OF HISTORIC PROTESTS IN IRAN. MONUMENTAL SHIFT FOR THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC. PROTESTS OVER THE DEATH OF A YOUNG WOMAN ARE GOING STRONG AND IT IS WOMEN WHO ARE LEADING THE CHARGE. NBC NEWS. Tehran BUREAU CHIEF ALI AROUZI, IS THE ONLY WESTERN TELEVISION CORRESPONDENT INSIDE IRAN. ALI. Just HOW TRANSFORMATIONAL OR MONUMENTAL ARE THESE PROTESTS > > Reporter? It IS INCREDIBLE ANDREA.. It IS NOT SOMETHING I'VE EVER SEEN OR ANYBODY ELSE HAS SIGNEEN THE 43 YEAR HISTORY OF THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC.. The DRESS CODE HERE IS VERY STRICT. AND THE RULES ARE HEAVILY ENFORCED., BUT THERE IS A GENERATION OF WOMEN HERE, A LOT OF THEM GENERATION, Z THAT JUST FEEL SO. Suffocated. AND THE DEATH OF MAHSA AMINI TOUCHED A REALLY RAW NERVE, AND THAT IS WHY WE'RE SEEING THESE PROTESTS SPILL OUT INTO THE STREETS.. I CA N'T OVERSTATE THE MAGNITUDE OF THESE WOMEN GOING OUT ON TO THE STREETS AND BURNING THEIR HEAD SCARVES AND CUTTING THEIR HAIR IN PUBLIC WHILE THE CROWDS ARE SUPPORTING THEM.. Is THIS A HUGE TABOO FOR THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC.? This WOULD HAVE LANDED PEOPLE DOUBLE DIGIT JAIL. Sentences. MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE PROTESTED, THE HIJAB ARE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW, SERVING 10 20 YEAR JAIL SENTENCES FOR REFUSING THE HEAD SCARF.. So THIS IS A HUGE MOMENT. AND THE CHANCETS THEY ARE MAKING. You HEAR THEM MARCHING ACROSS THE STREETS, CHANTING, WOMAN, LIFE FREEDOM.. They DO N'T WANT THIS REFREGS ANY MORE, BUT THE CRACKDOWN IS REALLY HARD.. This IS A VERY SORE POINT FOR THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC.. They WANT TO PUT THIS WHOLE ARE A HA JABIJAB ISSUE BACK IN THE B, BUT THE GENIE IS OUT OF THE BOTTLE AND IT IS A SORE ISSUE. > >, ANY INFORMATION ABOUT HOW A MINI DIED. Some THE REGIME SAYS IT WAS A HEART ATTACK OR ILLNESS. > >, THAT'S RIGHT.. The AUTHORITIES HERE SAY THAT SHE HAD A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION THAT SHE HAD HAD BRAIN SURGERY WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER AND THAT SHE HAD A HEART ATTACK. While SHE WAS IN CUSTODY AND THEN WENT INTO A COMA., HER FATHER REFUTES THAT COMPLETELY.. He SAYS THAT SHE HAS NO PRE-EXISTING CONDITION.. There ARE REPORTS. We CAN'T CONFIRM THAT SHE WAS BEATEN AND HE SAYS THAT WHEN HE SAW HER BODY BEFORE SHE WAS BURIED, SHE HAD BRUISES AROUND HER EAR HEAD AND LEGS. AND AGAIN REITERATED THAT SHE HAD NO PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS.. But THAT IS NOT EVEN THE POINT ANDREA.. Even IF THIS YOUNG LADY HAD PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS, WE'VE SPOKEN TO SO MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN ARRESTED BY THE MORALITY POLICE, IT IS AN EXTREMELY STRESSFUL, EVENT.. Many OF THE WOMEN THAT COME OUT OF DETENTION THAT HAVE BEEN ARRESTED BY THE MORALITY POLICE SUFFER FROM PTSD.. So IT COULD BE AN ACCIDENT THAT HAPPENS IN THERE. It IS NOT LIKELY THAT THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED HERE, BUT THAT COULD HAPPEN TO ANY OTHER PERSON THAT ACTUALLY DOES HAVE A PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITION, BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A STRESSFUL EXPERIENCE.. And THAT IS WHY YOU SEE SO MANY PEOPLE OUT ON THE STREET TODAY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED BEING SWEPT UP BY THE MORALITY POLICE AND THEY JUST DO N'T WANT IT ANYMORE., AND IT IS AMAZING, YOU SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE DEMONSTRATING, THEY ARE STILL COMING OUT In FULL FORCE NEAR THE BUYER ROWREAU, YES, WE SAW ABOUT 500 OR 600 PEOPLE MARCHING TOWARD THE NORTH OF TEHRAN., BASICALLY, FAMILY UNITS.. These WERE MOTHERS WITH THEIR TEENAGE DAUGHTERS, YOUNG HUSBANDS, BROTHERS, JUST ALL GOING OUT TOGETHER TO SHOW SOLIDARITY WITH ONE ANOTHER, DESPITE THE MASSIVE POLICE PRESENCE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. > >. This IS ALL JUST AMAZING., AS ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN TO

TheMidnadarkness: I feel bad for women in Iran because they have to cover up by wearing headscarves and robes or dresses , I heard that husbands treats their wives like servants and are cruel to them but I don't know if that is true . I really hope that women in Iran will wear what they want and not be forced against their wills . If anyone was forced to wear the ridiculous dress code feel free to tell me in the comments .

Ma Ka: I am from Iran and I want to ask western countries or any country who believes in human rights please send us weapons or help us in any way you can, so we can have a fair fight against revolutionary guards , they are armed up to their teeth, it is not easy to fight with empty-handed, lets all together fight against this extremist regime who are taken all Iran and some of the neighbouring countries hostage for over four decades and also don't forget if Iranian regime be able to build nuclear bomb then they will take all world hostage so before that happens let's together finish them off for good, to save many people's life in the future, people of Iran are great Nations, we are not aggressive we are very friendly and intelligent people our regime doesn't represent Iranian people, our message to the world is message of Peace, and friendship based on international law and mutual respect, so help us now so we can help you to make the world safer place from evil Iranian regime. Victory is ours, see you in the victory day ✌
Art Gale: Iranian women claiming their rights at great personal risk. Can American women please take time to vote to preserve their rights?

Imad Ullah: Hijab is a choice not a compulsion. Having said that I just want to ask these people on BBC news and CNN why they haven’t talked about the recent attack on Palestinians by the Israelis in Al Aqsa mosque on Jewish new year. I mean I do understand an innocent woman was killed by Iranian government and I condemn such action but why not give the whole picture. You are talking about Muslim oppression. Talk about both sides. Muslim oppressed by Muslim government in Iran and Muslims killed indiscriminately by Israelis .Don’t be partial.

J Ross: The hijab is mentioned 7 times in the Quran and NOT in relation to women's clothing. But it does prohibit the murder of innocent lives. Perhaps the morality police should read it.
jeff vaughn: I know there are reasons they wear these, but man.. just from a practical standpoint.. its really really hot pretty much everywhere right now.. who would wanna wear that on their head...
Tina Canino: Take note guys, KEEP POKING THE BEAR and SEE WHAT HAPPENS! Women are getting tired of your bull$hit. Keep trying to OWN women and THEIR BODIES. It won't work over there anymore and you're not gonna get away with it here!
