Iran protesters protested by death sentence
In Iran, there has been a backlash against the death sentence sentenced to men who were said to have participated in anti-government demonstrations and carried out subversive activities. Protests are being called in some cities, and it seems that authorities are also restricting Internet connections.
Regarding anti-government demonstrations all over Iran triggered by the government's gasoline price increase in November last year, the judicial authorities told three men who participated in the demonstration on the 14th of this month, ``Destructive activities such as lighting a bank. And sent the video to a foreign news agency."
A series of calls on the Internet called for the suspension of the death penalty, and several cities were called on to protest against the sentence in the evenings on the 16th.
In the northeastern city of Mashad, a conservative Tasnim news agency reportedly "had detained an opposition group that called on citizens to go out on the streets and protest."
In addition, several videos that are supposed to be protests in the southwestern Khuzestan state were posted on the Internet, and Reuters reported as a witness that security forces have started tearing off the demonstrators. ..
In addition, an organization that monitors the status of Internet connections around the world, "NetBlocks," announced that severe restrictions will be imposed on the state of Khuzestan from midnight on the 16th.
Iranian authorities seem to be controlling the information by focusing on the expansion of protests.
