Iran: Kurdish parties call for national strike on fourth anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death
The Alliance of Iranian Kurdish parties is urging a national strike on Wednesday, September 16, to commemorate the fourth anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death.
Shops are expected to remain closed on Wednesday, September 16, across Iran's Kurdistan region and other parts of the country, following a call issued by the Alliance of Iranian Kurdish parties. This action aims to stage a peaceful protest against repression by the Iranian regime on the fourth anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death. Amini, a young Iranian Kurdish woman, died in Tehran following her arrest for improperly wearing an Islamic headscarf.
The "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement that began four years ago continues, according to Kurdish parties, amid ongoing waves of protests and brutal crackdowns.
