Iran Protests Pass 100 Days as Demonstrators Facing Brutal Crackdown Request International Solidarity

Anti-government protests in Iran, launched in September following the death of Iranian Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini in the custody of Iran's morality police, have passed their 100th day, even as demonstrators have been met with widespread arrests, brutal violence by police and executions. The Human Rights Activists News Agency reports thousands of protesters have been arrested and more than 500 protesters have been killed so far, including 69 children. At least 26 more demonstrators are facing execution. As calls grow for the United States and the international community to respond to Iran's brutal crackdown, President Biden has hinted attempts to restore the Iran nuclear deal may be dead.
