France 24 English / Iran anti-government protests

Iran has been rocked by a civil uprising since mid-September, sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, 22, accused of breaching the Islamic republic’s dress code for women. The movement gradually morphed from a push against repression into a movement calling for all-out regime change. While mass demonstrations have begun to subside, public displays of anger remain, political demands are multiplying across civil society, and a divided opposition, in and outside of the country, insist the endgame is regime change. For more on this new political phase of Iran’s civil uprising, FRANCE 24 is joined by Chowra Makaremi, Anthropologist, Iran Specialist and Researcher for the CNRS in Paris.
