STORY: In Iran, pro-government demonstrators on Friday demanded the death penalty for those responsible for the protests of the past few days. “Anyoneer who attacked the Koran must be executed,” cried the crowd at a rally in Tehran. Regime-critical demonstrators who have been protesting against state power for a week after the death of a young woman were referred to as “Israel’s soldiers”. These protesters were interviewed on Iranian state television: “People are protesting, but these protests have turned into chaos as different groups have emerged. For example, those who are supported from abroad. Separatist groups, rioters, among them there are thugs and bad guys People, there are those who really don’t care about the people themselves. And they used an issue as a pretext for their riots.” The army announced a crackdown on government critics. In addition, the government is increasingly reacting with Internet blocking. She apparently fears that the protests could reach the proportions of 2019. At that time 1500 people died. The 22-year-old Masha Amini was arrested by the vice squad in Tehran on Friday last week for violating the strict Islamic dress code and allegedly not wearing her headscarf appropriately. She was dead a little later. This led to unrest and protests that quickly spread across the entire country. Human rights groups reported 15 dead and more than 700 injured. There were also numerous protests abroad. In Berlin on Friday, people took to the streets again who showed solidarity with the protest movement in Iran. They demanded that Amini’s death be thoroughly investigated and clarified. The protests were also directed against the strict dress codes in Iran and the restrictions on individual freedom. To express this, men and women demonstratively cut their hair in front of the Brandenburg Gate.
