Protests continue in Iran and Eastern Kurdistan

Despite the attacks and obstructions by the state forces in Iran and Eastern Kurdistan, the protests continue. An indictment was prepared for one thousand of those arrested.

The protests, which started right after the murder of young Kurdish woman Jina Amini by the “morality police” in Tehran, on 16 September, continue.

The protests, which spread to approximately 200 cities, have been continuing for the last few days, especially under the leadership of students.

Sine University students in Eastern Kurdistan also protested on 31 October, despite the attacks of the regime forces.

While students protested in Meriwan, young people took to the streets and lit fires in Saqqez.

As the fortieth day commemoration of the 3 people murdered in the city of Shino in Eastern Kurdistan, the shutters were closed and protest actions were carried out.

A funeral ceremony was held for a 16-year-old boy named Komar Deroftade, who was murdered in the city of Piranşar.

Koma's father, in his speech at his son's grave, said that he was proud of his son.

A funeral was held for 16-year-old Sarina Saadi, who was also murdered in the city of Sine. The ceremony, attended by hundreds of people, turned into a protest action.

Protests continued in many cities of Iran, and especially in universities. University administrations threatened to expel students from school.

The persecution of the protesters by the Iranian judiciary continues. According to Tasnim news agency, indictments have been prepared against 1,000 people since the beginning of the protests. Officials reported that the activists will be tried publicly in revolution courts.

The exact number of those detained and arrested could not be learned. However, according to opposition sources, between 200 and 450 people were killed and around 25,000 people were detained.
