“They have been telling us to tolerate the situation for 43 years. Our life passed by, waiting. We are frustrated and disillusioned because we have no freedom and no economy. The tyranny of the rulers has become unbearable, even breathing has become difficult in this country.” These are the words of 27-year-old Marzia, in Tehran, who has been standing against the Iranian Republic’s regime in different ways – including using the slogan “death to the dictator”. Protests in Iran which started after the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman who died in police custody, continue to unfold across the country. Despite attempts by Ebrahim Raisi’s government to suppress the uprising and restrict the flow of information, footage emerging from the country has shed light on the movement and the regime’s violent crackdown. As the protests enter their fourth week, the Guardian’s Emma Graham-Harrison explains what the latest footage coming out of Iran tells us about the country – and the women and girls leading the resistance. #iranprotest #mahsaamini #iran #sarinaesmailzadeh #nikashakarami
