“Over the past few days, protests have erupted across Iran after a 22-year-old woman died while being held by the morality police for violating the country’s strictly enforced Islamic dress code. Anger has seen women remove their mandatory headscarves, or hijabs, from covering their hair after the death of Mahsa Amini, who was picked up by morality police over her allegedly loose headscarf.”
Few, with the exception of long time readers of the Geller Report and other censored freedom-loving websites, may recognize the plaintive wails for freedom rising in Iran. We have seen this before. And each time the West, led by a Democrat President, has aided and abetted the brutal crackdown on brave, young people (led by women) dying, quite literally, to be free.
Women of Iran-Saghez removed their headscarves in protest against the murder of Mahsa Amini 22 Yr old woman by hijab police and chanting:
death to dictator!
Removing hijab is a punishable crime in Iran. We call on women and men around the world to show solidarity. #مهسا_امینی pic.twitter.com/ActEYqOr1Q

In the past few days:
Western news outlets censor and scrub coverage of the freedom protests and the horrors that give rise to them. How many people know who Neda Soltan (below) was. She is an icon in Iran. A decade ago, she was shot dead while protesting the Iranian regime’s brutal enforcement of Islamic law. Then, as now, thousands marched against the Islamic regime despite beatings, torture, prison, thousands marched against the Islamic Regime.
The people rose up then, too. Neda (above) became a rallying cry. Iranians were beaten, jailed, raped, and killed. It was a killing field. Iranians begged for our help. After that, President Obama could no longer ignore it. Obama said he “respects this regime.”
Obama: “We will seek common ground. We will be respectful even when we do not agree.
Knowing this, the people of Iran still took the streets knowing what awaits them. As Robert Spencer pointed out, the regime’s only hope of remaining in power is to terrorize the Iranian people into submission, as per Qur’an 3:151, 8:12, and 8:60.
Today there were massive protests across Iran against western backed rioters who murdered police officers as well as ordinary citizens. Some demonstrations were held near destroyed banks & public facilities. Others were held where many ambulances & fire engines were set ablaze. pic.twitter.com/nml4zPJuVm

Sadly for the Iranian people, President Trump isn’t in office. He vowed to help them.
Instead of issuing sanctions against the Iran regime’s brutal violence against women, Biden opened America’s doors to Iran’s top terrorist to speak at the UN to deny the Holocaust.
Biden has released billions to the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism while working furiously to nuclearize the Islamic state.
“‘You killed her for two strands of hair’: Mahsa Amini’s father stops mullah from performing her last rites,” Firstpost, September 21, 2022:
Tehran: Amid ongoing protests in Iran, Mahsa Amini’s father has refused to allow Islamic prayers over his daughter’s body.
“Your Islam denounced her, now you’ve come to pray over her? Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? You killed her for two strands of hair! … Take your Islam and go,” said Mahsa Amini’s father in a viral video.
Who is Mahsa Amini?
Over the past few days, protests have erupted across Iran after a 22-year-old woman died while being held by the morality police for violating the country’s strictly enforced Islamic dress code. Anger has seen women remove their mandatory headscarves, or hijabs, from covering their hair after the death of Mahsa Amini, who was picked up by morality police over her allegedly loose headscarf.
Several videos have emerged online showing women twirling them overhead, chanting. Others have burned them or cut off locks of their own hair in rage.
Amini’s death has angered many Iranians, particularly the young, who have come to see it as part of the Islamic Republic’s heavy-handed policing of dissent and the morality police’s increasingly violent treatment of young women.
Protests turn violent
According to reports, the protesters clashed with police at some of the places. Not just that, thick clouds of tear gas were seen in the capital of Tehran. Meanwhile, motorcycle-riding volunteers known as “Basij” in Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard have chased and beaten demonstrators — as they have in other protests in recent years over water rights, the country’s cratering economy and other reasons that have been violently suppressed.
Yet some demonstrators still chant “death to the dictator”, targeting both Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s rule and Iran’s theocracy, despite the threat of arrest, imprisonment and even the possibility of a death sentence….
