Five anti-hijab protesters have been sentenced to death in Iran. According to the statement issued by the Judiciary Department, imprisonment has also been announced for 11 people. These include 3 children. Two months ago, a paramilitary soldier, Ruhollah Ajamian, died while trying to control the protesters. Then these demonstrations were held in protest against the death of a female protester named Hadis Najafi at the hands of the police. Najafi was a prominent face of the anti-hijab protests.
Mahsa Amini, a 23-year-old student, died in the custody of the Morality Police on September 16 in Iran. She was arrested by the police for not wearing the hijab. Anti-hijab and anti-government protests began after Amini's death. 300 people have died and they are still going on.
The spokesperson also confirmed the sentence
Law department spokesperson Masood Setyashi confirmed five death sentences and 11 prison terms. He said – The case of the death of the soldier was started on 11 people. After this, the names of four more people were added to the case. The government website confirmed the sentence but did not say how much the convict had been sentenced.
The day this incident happened, it was 40 days since Mahsa Amini's death. According to local tradition, it is a day of mourning. There were massive protests on the same day. Hadith Najafi and the soldier also died on this day. These people were convicted only on the charge of killing the soldier and now the punishment has been announced.
300 people died so far
Iran's hardline government has not yet told how many people have died in the anti-hijab protests. However, world media reports claim that 300 people have been killed so far and around 5 thousand people have been arrested.
The protests that started on September 16 are still going on and the government is adopting all means to crush them. Recently there was news that troubled by the protesters, the government has decided to close the Moral Police Department. However, this could not be confirmed.
How did the movement start?
On September 13, 22-year-old Mahsa Amini came to Tehran to visit her family. She was not wearing a hijab. The police immediately arrested Mahsa. He died 3 days after his arrest, i.e. on 16 September. After this, the matter came into the limelight.
Against the moral policing of the government, the youth have made a mobile app named Garshad. About 20 lakh people have downloaded this app so far. The youth are sending secret messages through this. Because of this, mobile internet is closed in Tehran. However, despite all the efforts of the government, the anti-government protests are not reducing.
According to Iranian media reports, Amini had slipped into a coma hours after her arrest. He was taken to the hospital. The family says that Mahsa did not have any disease. His health was absolutely fine. Although his death is being told as suspicious. It is not yet clear what happened between Mahsa reaching the police station and going to the hospital, the reports said. A channel that monitors human rights violations in Iran said Amini died of head injuries.
In Maha Kumbh, devotees are also fulfilling the pledge of cleanliness. From 13 to 31 January, 31.
