Iran's Ongoing Struggle: From Repression to Resistance

One year after the death of Mahsa Amini, a young Kurdish Iranian woman who died in police custody, protests in Iran continue to challenge the hardline government and demand the downfall of the regime. The protests, initially focused on women's rights, have spread across the country and faced severe crackdowns, internet blackouts, arrests, and executions. Despite the repression, resistance persists in various forms, including women refusing to wear the hijab and ongoing protests against economic conditions and rights violations. However, without political organization and leadership, the protests are unlikely to lead to political change, and Iranians still lack an organized alternative to the regime.
