There is no end to the protests in Iran after the death of Mahsha Amini. They also enter the battle schoolgirls who throw away their headscarves and join their voices with the rest of the women and men in an unprecedented show of support for the protests that have engulfed the country for about three weeks.

Several videos are doing the rounds on social media showing schoolgirls waving hijabs while shouting slogans against women’s oppression and police repression.

In Karaj, which is just west of the capital Tehran, girls, some of them without hijabs, reportedly forced an education official out of their school.

Videos posted on social media on Monday show them shouting “Shame on you” and throwing what appeared to be empty water bottles at the man until he was ushered out the door.

In another video from Karaj, students can be heard shouting: “If we don’t unite, they will kill us one by one.”

Meanwhile, in the city of Shiraz on Monday, dozens of schoolgirls blocked traffic on a main road while waving their headscarves in the air and shouting “death to the dictator” meaning the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Protests by schoolgirls took place today, Tuesday, in Karaj, Tehran and Sakez.

Female students were also photographed inside their classrooms standing without wearing hijabs. Some even raised their hands in an obscene gesture towards portraits of Ayatollah Khamenei and the founder of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

The student protests began just hours after Ayatollah Khamenei broke his silence on the riots and accused the US and Israel of orchestrating the “riots”. He also gave his full support to the security forces, who responded to the protests with a violent crackdown.
