As Anti-Hijab Protests Grow, Iran President Draws The “Red Line”
Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi condemned Wednesday the” chaos” sparked by a surge of women- led demurrers over the death of Mahsa Amini while in the guardianship of the Islamic democracy’s morality police.Those who took part in the screams must be dealt with decisively, this is the demand of the people,” said Raisi in a televised interview.
People’s safety is the red line of the Islamic democracy of Iran and no boneis allowed to break the law and beget chaos,” he saidThe adversary has targeted public concinnity and wants to crop people against each other,” added the traditional chairman, criminating Iran’s archfoe the United States of supersizing the uneasiness.
Amini, a 22- time-old Kurdish woman, failed on September 16, three days after she had been arrested for allegedly violating Iran’s strict rules for women on wearing hijab headscarves and modest apparel.
Raisi said the nation had felt” grief and anguish” over her death, and that forensics and bar experts would soon present a final report, but also advised that” demurrers are different to screams”.
Woman, Life, Freedom!” the protesters have chanted in Iran’s biggest demonstrations in nearly three times, in which women have defiantly burned their headscarves and cut off their hair.Their conduct have been matched in solidarity demurrers worldwide, with British- Iranian Nazanin Zaghari- Ratcliffe, who spent six times in jail in Iran, cutting her hair in a videotape participated on the BBC Persian service.
Amini’s bereft parents have filed a complaint, demanding” a thorough disquisition” and the release of” all vids and photos” of her while in guardianship, said their counsel Saleh Nikbakht.
An Iraq- grounded kinsman of Amini, who’s a member of a Kurdish nationalist group, charged that she failed after a” violent blow to the head” and that one officer had pledged to” inseminate the rules in her and educate her how to wear the hijab and how to dress”.
As the Iranian demurrers have burned for 12 nights in a row, Iran’s police command pledged its forces would defy them” with all their might”, in a crackdown that one rights group says has formerly killed at least 76 people.Iran has criticized outside forces for the uneasiness, including”counter-revolutionary” Kurdish groups grounded in northern Iraq– across from Iran’s Kurdistan fiefdom Amini hailed from, and where the demurrers first burned .
In a major escalation, Iran on Wednesday launchedcross-border bullet and drone strikes that killed 13 people in Iraq’s Kurdistan region, after criminating Kurdish fortified groups grounded there of fuelling the uneasinessThe attacks were condemned by the UN charge in Iraq, and the civil government in Baghdad summoned the Iranian minister.
The United States condemned the” brazen-faced attacks” and Britain said Iraq’s” magpie hail” demonstrates” a repeated pattern of Iranian destabilising exertion in the region”.Germany slammed the” escalation. against the background of domestic political demurrers in Iran” and rejected” attempts to detect the causes of the Iranian demurrers in the neighbouring country”.
The Kurdish Democratic Party of Iran, one of the groups targeted, charged that” these dastardly attacks are being at a time when the terrorist governance of Iran is unfit to crack down on ongoing demurrers outside and silence the Kurdish and Iranian peoples’ civil resistance”The Iranian government– its frugality formerly hit by warrants over its nuclear programme– has sought to play down the extremity.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir- Abdollahian said he told Western diplomats at recent UN meetings that the demurrers were” not a big deal” for the stability of the pastoral state.There isn’t going to be governance change in Iran. Do not play to the feelings of the Iranian people,” he told National Public Radio in New York, also criminating” outside rudiments” of stirring up violenceFars news agency said Tuesday” around 60″ people had been killed since Amini’s death. But the Oslo- grounded group Iran Human Rights said the crackdown has killed at least 76 people.
Iran’s response has drawn concern from the United Nations and commination from the around the world, with Germany and Spain summoning the Iranian ministers and the United States and Canada publicizing new warrants.The son of Iran’s late shah, in an interview near Washington with AFP, hailed the demurrers and prompted the world to add to the pressure on the pastoral leadership.
Reza Pahlavi, whose father was stumbled in the 1979 Islamic Revolution, prompted lesser medication for a unborn Iranian system that’s temporal and popularIt’s truly in ultramodern times, in my opinion, the first revolution for the women, by the women– with the support of the Iranian men, sons, sisters and fathers,” said Pahlavi.
