Iran warns of crackdown as 1,200 arrested, at least 41 murdered by regime

Over 1,200 Iranians have been arrested and at least 41 killed, as of Monday, in protests against the death of Mahsa Amini, 22, while in police custody simply for not properly wearing a head covering known as a hijab. Evidently, seeing a woman's hair is sacrilegiously sexual to the Morality Police who took her into custody, where she was killed. 

So while the Qur'an says that there is "no compulsion" in religion, it left off the compulsory part.

Protesters are calling for the end of compulsory wearing of hijabs for women as well as other violations of women's rights in the Islamic nation and number one sponsor of global terrorism. The exact numbers for casualties and arrests are only available to the Iranian government, and they aren't bragging about it as these protests have been going on for ten days.

The Iranian government attempted to quell the protests by cutting off internet access to social media in over a dozen cities, as widespread killing of protesters has been perpetrated by "Moral" Police and other government henchmen.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi warned protesters that the regime will act "decisively" to end the violence by violently killing protesters. It's along the same line as "we will have peace when our enemies are all killed."

But not all the injured and dead were protesters: at least five of Iran's Basij paramilitary group have also been killed, state media reported. They are connected to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and are acting as enforcers.

Amini, the dead woman, was Kurdish and the unrest is most severe in the Iran's majority Kurdish region in the northeast.

Iranian authorities refuse to take responsibility for Amini's death. They claim she simply collapsed while in custody but her family said they saw evidence of beatings on her body when they arrived at the hospital where she was in a coma before dying.

So who do you believe?

Amini's death has led thousands of women to cast off their Hijabs during protest events, with some even burning them in the street.
