On Twitter, users are constantly uploading snapshots of the anti-regime protest demonstrations, which have become the first topic in all media outlets on both sides.
The protests of women and humanitarian organizations that began in theocratic Iran after the death of the young Mahsha Amini during her detention by the morality police in Tehran are taking the form of an avalanche. 22-year-old Amini was arrested 3 days ago for not wearing her headscarf “correctly” and letting her hair show.

Wow, I’m speechless.
