The Islamic Republic of Iran is well-known for its human rights violations, including with the United Nations, and protesters around the world are demanding an end to ‘religious dictatorship’
More than 100 Irainian-Sudburians and their supporters lined Paris Street across from Bell Park on Oct. 1 to protest what is being called the brutal murder of Iranian woman, Mahsa Amini.
Most of the protesters in Sudbury feared retribution against their loved ones still living in Iran. Many protested, but hid their faces with signs or masks and refused to go on record. Previous to the current government, Iran was a constitutional monarchy, a form of monarchy in which the monarch exercises their authority in accordance with a constitution and is not alone in decision-making. Their powers and authorities are within limits prescribed by an established legal framework.Currently, there is a supreme leader in the Islamic Republic of Iran. It is a lifetime post.
“We do not receive the support that any other country would receive in such a situation. Because of this oil that we have, or people are suffering, and it's like almost no one cares. And this is what Iranian people in foreign countries are doing. They are trying to draw attention to the situation in Iran, especially for foreign countries so that people would ask their governments to be active in solving the crisis.
However, the other women she was held with, and leaked medical records that have come to light show that Amini died of blunt force trauma, confirmed by the family when her body was returned to them.
