The popular uprising has been continuing in East Kurdistan and Iran since September 16 after 22-year-old Kurdish woman Mahsa (Jina) Amini was murdered by the "morality" police in Tehran for not covering her head properly.

The headquarters of the Kayhan newspaper which designated activists as "the enemy's mercenaries," was raided by demonstrators in Tehran.

“The enemy's mercenaries took off their masks, show no mercy for the criminals,” Kayhan newspaper wrote on September 22 against the protesters.

The head of the Kahyan newspaper, Iran's main conservative newspaper, was appointed by the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The Kayhan newspaper reported that the activists threw Molotov cocktails at its main building and tried to enter inside, adding that some parts of the building were damaged.

While dozens of protestors were killed by the state forces across the country, thousands of others were detained.

According to the official statements, more than 1200 people have been detained. However, some sources reported that more than 10 thousand people have been detained.
