Iranians launch strike against mullahs: country paralyzed | Politics

Big strike! Nationwide protests in Iran have reached a new stage.

The strikes are said to have shaken the mullahs’ economic system from this Monday (until Wednesday). Over the past few days, activists have called on retailers across the country to participate in the strike.

Pictures from Iran now prove that the call for protests on 14-15-16 (named after the Persian calendar month “Azhar” date) is a total success!

Especially in economic centers – like bazaars in big cities – many shops have already closed.

Activists Objective: The mullahs’ banking system is said to be faltering due to low cash flow.

FDP human rights politician Renata Alt (57) told BILD: “Iranians want freedom! They want to overthrow the mullahs’ regime – through peaceful means and economic boycott.”

Also: Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi’s statement that the protesters were “rioters” and that the commissions of inquiry were formed without the participation of protesters’ representatives shows that the regime no longer has any legitimacy in the eyes of the majority of the population. .

The arrest and brutal treatment of Mahza Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian youth by gang members, has sparked nationwide protests since September. Mahza Amini died as a result of injuries sustained while in custody.

Sub-Police Disbandment “Fake News”

Ahead of three days of protests, a statement by Iran’s attorney general about the disbandment of the auxiliary force sparked a debate in the West: Is this a real concession from the mullahs?

For political scientist Ali Fathollah-Nejad, this is just a ploy to improve the Iranian regime’s decadent image in the West and simulate a desire for reform.

He vented his anger on Twitter: “No, Iran has not abolished its moral police as the Western media gleefully claims!”

Because even though Iranian state media has talked about the disbanding of the subsidiary, there has been no legally binding decision.

On the contrary: Ali Fathollah-Nejad believes that mandatory headscarves are an important pillar of the Islamic Republic and that the mullahs will not do without. The regime is more likely to refine its surveillance measures, for example by using camera technology from China for mass surveillance.

In addition, the security forces have been exhausted from their constant work since mid-September, so a “breather” when checking “inappropriate hijabs” is just right for the auxiliary team – this is not a signal for real reforms. However, the demonstrators are no longer demanding reforms, but the overthrow of the regime.
