At least 50 people have been killed after the eighth day of anti-hijab protests in Iran, according to new reports.

Across the country, women have taken to the streets to protest the death of Mahsa Amini.

The 22-year-old was arrested for allegedly violating the country's strictly enforced dress code.

It has been obligatory for women to cover their heads since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, and morality police said she wore her headscarf – or hijab – too loosely.

Amini collapsed and spent three days in a coma after being detained by police in Tehran.
Iranian police say Amini died of a heart attack, though her family believe she was severely mistreated.

Independent experts linked to the United Nations (UN) say reports suggested she was badly beaten after being detained.

Since then, thousands of women have been taking to the streets, cutting their hair off and burning their head scarves in protest over Amini's treatment.

Videos on social media show protesters in Tehran setting fire to a police car and confronting officers.

In other footage, gunfire can be heard as demonstrators run away from riot police while shouting: "They are shooting at people! Oh my God they’re killing people!"

And though official figures claim 26 people have died during the riots, a report from Oslo-based group Iran Human Rights says the number is at least 50.

The scenes of women cutting their hair and burning their hijabs are part of a broader political debate over the imposition of of religious dogma in modern-day society.

The protests have also grown into an open challenge to the government, with the chants calling for the downfall of the ruling clerics.

Some have been heard shouting, "Death to the dictator!" and "Mullahs must be gone!"

Following Amini's death, Anonymous pledged to 'shut down' the Iranian government.

In a video declaring the group's support for the cause, a distorted voice says: "This was the last straw... The Iranian people are not alone."

The two main websites of the Iranian government, as well as state-affiliated media websites, were reported as going down last week.

I hope our Muslim brothers are watching TV?

The weak, deviant and heedless have taken the earth.

God willing, when the great emperor "The Unity" comes to establish his New Era, things will be alright.

Religion of Peace indeed

It is a pity na!raland have joined the lists of propaganda dishing media.

Na!raland should please always try and verify news before pushing them. Not just always push whatever the evil western medias spend time in propagating. We have a tense situation in Iran already, we shouldnt add more fire by circulating fake news and trying to bring the iranian government down so that the western world can install one of their puppet.

They tried it in iraq, libya, syria, ukraine.. And we all know how it ended or is going for the listed.

Firstly, question we need to ask Ourselves.

Where are the pictures of the 50 dead bodies?

Do we have any family coming out to report of any of their relatives killed? If yes. Where are the reports?

I repeat, the world will be a better place without BBC,CNN and other fake news evil media outlets.

Note: i am not a shite muslim. I just believe in fairness of the world. Free of double standard and hypocrisy.

Their leaders will soon find a way to blame Israel and America for the protests.

.

Religion of peace indeed!

Nigeria next

I Pity muslim faithfuls hypocrites in this part of the world that still supporting tyranny in Iran and Saudi Arabia.


If God, the almighty gave humanity freewill to choose from good and bad, how much less religion leaders.

Is God that designed human from scratch not capable to enforce humans to do his biddings the way he wanted?

If truly Islam is taking people to aljana"(paradise) whre they enjoy for ethernity, why forcing people?
It's only wen you are taken people to terrible places that you force people and not places of enjoyment of good things of life.

Has anybody ever compelled people to enjoy luxury things on earth? Why aljana"(paradise) own different?



Yet Islam is most peaceful religion ooo.

A government that justifies the killing of its own citizens over a scarf

Life is about time.
1979 was a time for Iran to embrace conservative values
Now is a time to be a little liberal.
Let humans not feel like they are caged.

H

Religion...if we can solve religion crises ehh especially this Nigeria..things go change

Islam should allow people live their lives the way they want, provided they are not committing any crime.

Is it by force to make someone become too religious.


That's why we must reject The dangerous Muslim-Muslim Ticket of Bola Tinubu even as Muslims.


If Atiku couldn't condemn the killing of Deborah and stand on it just because of mere votes, imagine the injustice he would overlook just because of second Tenure should he become president.

Vote Peter Obi for better Nigeria.

All this Muslim countries looking for trouble when the have the least resemblance of peace

When you question them they claim it's their culture

But what concerns us with another country problems?

Buhari has been dealing with us since 2015 and UN never question am,
Na Iran wey UN dey suspect everytime go answer Dem?
I beg open Peter obi page make i read joor

People are finally standing up to the evil in the World
God give us victory
