Anti-Hijab protest spreads like a wildfire in Iran



The anti-hijab protests in Iran  caused by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, has now spread to over 80 cities in the country.  The protesters have been burning their hijabs and scarves in a bonfire and setting billboards with the image of supreme leaders on fire. There have been clashes between groups of protesters and security forces. An NGO claims that the security forces have already killed more than 50 people. 

On the other hand, different groups in of support of the Iranian government have come out on streets with rallies. These rallies, as per reports, are not being sponsored by the government.    

To curb the social media reach of these protests, the Iranian government has restricted the internet service to the common citizens. While the US is planning to expand range of internet service through tech companies. Elon Musk's Starlink is willing to extend its services to Iranian people.  

Stephane Dujarric, Spokesperson of United Nations has appealed to the Iranian government to refrain itself from using unnecessary and disproportionate forces against anti-government protesters and also to respect rights and freedom of expressions of the citizens and also respect women's rights. 



Mahsa Amini was arrested on September 13 during her visit to the capital city by the police who beat her up to death. She went into coma for three days before passing away. Her killing led to widespread protests in Iran against the government.
