The Iran Protests Don't Have To Fail | The Heritage Foundation
Last Wednesday, while Iranian president Ibraham Raisi addressed the United Nations General Assembly, insisting that countries such as Canada and U.S. had human-rights records equivalent to—if not worse than—Iran’s, protests erupted across the Islamic Republic. What sparked the protests was the beating death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, killed by the morality police, who had arrested her for violating the country’s strict requirement that women wear the hijab in public. More than a week later, there is no sign that the unrest is abating, despite an increasingly violent crackdown.
