PROTESTERS in Iran marched through the streets of multiple cities today in the most widespread demonstration in weeks amid the months-long unrest that’s gripped the Islamic Republic.

The demonstrations, marking 40 days since Iran executed two men on charges related to the protests, show the anger in the country has not lessened.

The protests began over the September 16 death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini after her arrest by the country’s so-called morality police.

Online videos showed demonstrations in Iran’s capital, Tehran, as well as in the cities of Arak, Isfahan, Izeh in Khuzestan province and Karaj, the group Human Rights Activists in Iran said.

In Iran’s western Kurdish regions, online videos shared by the Hengaw Organisation for Human Rights showed burning roadblocks in Sanandaj, which has seen repeated demonstrations since Ms Amini’s death.

Some videos, allegedly shot in Tehran, showed scenes of heavily protected riot police in the street.

Iranian state media did not immediately acknowledge the demonstrations.

Since they began, at least 529 people have been killed in demonstrations, according to Human Rights Activists in Iran. 

Over 19,700 others have been detained by authorities amid a violent crackdown trying to suppress the dissent. 

Iran for months has not offered any overall casualty figures.
