NEWS CENTER – Youth expressed their anger against the authorities by chanting slogans, opening fires and blocking streets and roads. 33 days of relentless resistance, arrests, torture, militarization of cities, slowing down and cutting off the internet and all other measures of the regime have not been able to end the wave of uprisings in East Kurdistan and Iran.
Protests continued in the four provinces of East Kurdistan, especially in the cities of Sanaa, Kermanshah, Mahabad, Bokan, Saqiz, Dewlan, Kamiaran, Drashahr, Ilam and several other areas. This is the video of the patriotic and revolutionary youth of Mahabad who shouted the continuity of these uprisings in the streets of Pashtapa and prevented the Iranian occupation forces from entering these streets with the slogan of women, life and freedom.
In Bokan and Mahabad, some shopkeepers and traders closed their shops and went on strike. In Abdanan city of Ilam province, the campaign to arrest activists and participants of the recent demonstrations continues and dozens of people have been arrested so far. Strikes and slogans continued in schools as in previous days, and students marched in several cities in Iran and East Kurdistan.
In several universities, students and some teachers did not go to classrooms and students gathered and marched to protest against state policies, violence against demonstrators and arrests of students.
Also yesterday, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei delivered a speech during a meeting with “elite and highly talented scientists” in which he criticized university teachers for boycotting classrooms. Without making any reference to the attacks on university campuses and the arrest and beating of students, Khamenei criticized the students for their strikes and boycotts, saying: “Anything that causes the universities to be disrupted or closed and destroyed , an achievement for the enemies of the country.”
In Tehran, Mashhad, Qahdrijan, Isfahan, Ahvaz, Arak, Saveh, Gohardasht, Karaj and several other cities, citizens expressed their anger against the authorities by holding rallies, marches, blocking the streets and chanting slogans.

The killing of Zhina Amini on September 16 sparked the longest wave of demonstrations in East Kurdistan and Iran, killing at least 215 people.
