In total they have been arrested almost 20,000 people. More than 100 of them face the death penalty. Some protesters have already been executed.
The wave of national protest was sparked by the death in custody of Makhsa Amini on September 16, 2022.
The Iranian woman of Kurdish origin was arrested by the morality police for wearing her hijab incorrectly.
According to the same source, the protests have spread in 160 cities outside the capital Iran.
Iranian authorities have not yet released information on the total number of deaths and arrests. Protests in Iran continue, despite brutal repression by the regime, mainly in areas where the Sunni population is the majority.
