In Iran, 2018 began with a breeze of freedom, promising hope for regime change in 142 Iranian cities. The people of Iran took to the streets, from north to south, and from east to west. The uprising began in Mashhad, Iran’s second largest city, and subsequently spread all over the country.
Of course, the clerical regime reacted with violence. Dozens were killed. More than 8000 have been arrested. The majority of the victims are under 25 years of age. Everyday adds to the number of protesters who get murdered under torture.
This is the uprising of the poor and hungry, young men and who suffer from unemployment, those who do not have any future. As we witnessed, Iran’s courageous women had a great role in the uprising which was sparked by economic and social demands but quickly turned political.
The regime tries to suppress the uprising by engaging its repressive forces but the protests have continued, by writing graffiti on the walls, by strikes and gatherings. In addition, many of the regime agents have defected.
