Title: Protests in Iran and attacks by security forces: a fight for freedom
Introduction: Since the beginning of the “Women, Live Freedom” movement in Iran, demonstrations against the regime have become commonplace. Each anniversary of the death of a protester killed by Iranian security forces is an opportunity for families to commemorate their loss and reaffirm their resolve to fight for freedom. However, the Iranian authorities are increasing measures to repress these commemorations and prevent the broadcast of these events on social networks. This article highlights the resistance of families to this violence and their desire to continue the fight for freedom in Iran.
I. Attacks by security forces
Since September 16, Iranian authorities have intensified their actions to prevent families from commemorating the deaths of their loved ones and to stifle demonstrations against the regime. Arrests, death threats and direct attacks are carried out by security forces.
A. Arrests and house arrests
The families of deceased demonstrators are particularly targeted by the Iranian authorities. Members of these families are arrested and placed in arbitrary detention, thus preventing any public commemoration. In addition, many families are under house arrest, limiting their freedom of movement and their right to peacefully express their grief.
B. Death threats
The families of the deceased protesters are also victims of death threats from the Iranian authorities. Anonymous messages and calls intimidate them, warning them not to participate in the commemorations or face tragic consequences.
C. Direct attacks
Iranian security forces do not hesitate to use force against families who attempt to commemorate the deaths of their loved ones. Tear gas, live ammunition and physical violence are used to disperse gatherings and intimidate participants.
II. The resistance of families
Despite pressure from the Iranian regime, families are not giving up their right to commemorate their loved ones and fight for freedom in Iran.
A. Persistence in commemorations
Despite the arrests and violence, some families continue to organize memorial ceremonies. They are finding creative ways to get around obstacles put in place by Iranian authorities, such as holding vigils at home or using support networks to organize events.
B. Distribution on social networks
Families are not only physically protesting, they are also using social media to share their experiences and raise awareness about the situation in Iran.. Despite the Iranian regime’s attempts to censor this content, families are finding ways to circumvent the censorship and allow the images and stories to circulate.
Conclusion: Families of deceased protesters in Iran continue to fight for freedom and commemorate the deaths of their loved ones despite attacks by security forces and pressure from the regime. Their determination to continue the fight for democracy in Iran is an inspiration to all those who support human rights and freedom of expression. It is crucial to remain attentive to their situation and continue to support them in their quest for justice and freedom.
