The protests that have shaken Iran for three months over the death of Mahsa Amini continue to challenge the regime of the ayatollahs despite the harsh repression inflicted by the security forces. In a new day of demonstrations in various cities across the country on Thursday, some participants set fire to the former home of the country's former supreme leader and founder of the regime, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, according to images posted on social media.
According to the videos published by the activist group 1500tasvir, which is in charge of collecting on Twitter the publications of the protests in a country where censorship prevails, as a reference for protests in a country where censorship prevails, the protesters went out to the streets of at least 23 cities in Iran yesterday.
In the city of Bandar Imam Khomeini, named after the former supreme leader because it was his birthplace, protesters torched the house-turned-museum of the founder of the Islamic Republic. Other videos recorded in Khomeini show participants shouting slogans against the clerical leaders: "Death to the dictator!" "This is the year of blood, [the supreme leader Ali Khamenei] will be overthrown," was another of the slogans shouted by the protesters, in another video recorded from the capital, Tehran.
At least 342 people have been killed, according to Iran Human Rights, in the regime's crackdown on the Islamic Republic of Iran since the death of a young Iranian Kurdish woman at the hands of morality police on September 16 sparked an avalanche of protests that they ask for more freedom and the overthrow of the regime and fight for freedom.
