What is the situation of the protests in Iran? | DW News
Nearly six months after Jina Masha Amini was killed for not dressing the way the Islamic Republic wanted to, women without hijab are conquering the streets of Iran. Although it is against the law, many women are taking the risk to make a stand.
Iranian activist and journalist Sepideh Gholian who was released on Wednesday after over four years behind bars, appears to have been immediately re-arrested. A video appears to show her after leaving the notorious Evin Prison. She’s without a headscarf chanting anti-regime slogans. Mariam Claren has more on the story. She’s daughter of Nahid Taghavi with dual German and Iranian citizenship and imprisoned in Iran. Taghavi was a fellow inmate of Sepideh Gholian in the notorious Evin prison.
Six months ago this week, Mahsa Amini was arrested for allegedly flouting Iran’s strict dress code for women. Within days she was dead, sparking the country’s biggest protests in years. As Iranians continue anti-government protests during Iran’s fire festival, FRANCE 24 is joined by Farhad Khosrokhavar, Author, Franco-Iranian Sociologist and EHESS Director of Studies & Chair of Sociology of Contemporary Iran. Mr. Khosrokhavar has witnessed a veritable paradigm shift in this entire region that he finds to be ‘paradoxical’. He asserts that “in the Middle East and the Muslim world, women have been the avant garde. For the first time in the history of social movements in the region, women have initiated this movement. And then young men joined them. That means that traditional notions of honor, of man’s superiority to women, have been put into question. And both have acted against what might be called this ‘hyper-oppressive theocratic regime.”

Teachers protest school poisonings in Iran, State media and officials say more than a thousand girls in different schools across the country have suffered “mild poison” attacks since November. The Iranian leader’s comments came after more Iranian schoolgirls were hospitalized on Saturday, as concerns grow over cases at girls’ schools across the country.
In Pakistan, women coming together to rally against patriarchy and sexual harassment became a flashpoint across cities in what has become an annual event and a test of wills between some authorities who would rather not see them take place, and persistent women demanding their rights. What those rights should be also remains a point of contention between women themselves in the majority conservative, Muslim country. DW’s Beenish Javed reports from Islamabad. Women’s marches were not the only protests in Pakistan the last 24 hours. Former prime minister Imran Khan’s supporters, some of whom brandished sticks, clashed with police in Lahore. Officers responded by firing tear gas. One demonstrator reportedly died, others were injured, and more were detained. The escalation prompted Khan to call off a planned rally, and he accused the government of intentionally making the situation worse. The city had banned public gatherings earlier in the day in a move widely viewed as specifically targeting Khan. He has already been targeted on air – or rather, taken off air. Pakistan’s media regulator has banned broadcasts of Khan’s speeches on charges he is spreading hate against the nation’s institutions, a reference to the all-powerful military.
