As time goes on and the news cycle shifts, protesters in Iran remain determined, and are paying a high price as they risk their lives in their fight for freedom. Iranian regime forces opened fire on protestors at the Tehran metro station while it was crowded with people. The incident was captured in the video.

No one can say with certainty what has happened to the 15,000 protestors who have been arrested, or what the actual death toll is. Meanwhile, reports are circulating that “terrorist elements” also opened fire on protestors, killing five. The Iranian regime is a “terrorist element” in itself. Although the Islamic State is the implied suspected “terrorist element,” the perpetrators may well have been Iranian regime actors.

The situation in Iran escalated once again on Wednesday as security forces opened fire on protesters at a metro station in Tehran. Videos and pictures shared on the social media showed that the forces attacked the protesters who had gathered to protest against the custodial death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini and they even beat up women who were not wearing the mandatory hair coverings in public.

The videos showed that the metro station was crowded with people – some of whom were protesting Amini’s death – and the forces ended up hitting them with batons and sticks.

The protests have intensified in the past few days as it is the third anniversary of “Bloody November” when several protesters were killed in Iran for protesting against fuel prices.

Amini was detained by the morality police for not wearing the hijab in public and later, she was found dead with signs of trauma to her head and body. The death sparked massive protests all around the country and women came out in public to burn hijabs and cut their hair as a mark of rebellion.

Following the protests, Oslo-based NGO Iran Human Rights said that 326 people have died till now and more than 15,000 protesters have been arrested for showing their dissent in public….
