<\/a>Introduction<\/h3>\n

The Iranian regime is a theocratic state based on the velayat-e faqih (absolute clerical rule) principle. The authoritarian rulers of Iran violently clamp down on popular demands, including calls for greater personal freedoms and equality.<\/p>\n

Freedom of assembly is effectively non-existent in Iran, and severe restrictions are commonplace when people try to voice basic, collective demands. But those efforts are accelerating anyway, as people call for overthrowing a theocratic system that does not align with their aspirations for self-governance and peaceful membership in the international community.<\/p>\n

In December 2017, people in more than 130 cities in all of Iran’s provinces rose up against the regime in large numbers and demanded democratic change and separation of religion and state. The protestors were violently suppressed, killing dozens and thousands more, jailed, and tortured. Then, less than two years later, on November 2019<\/a>, even greater repression emerged in response to an even larger uprising. After residents of roughly 200 cities and towns participated in the demonstrations, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps opened fire on crowds, killing 1,500 protesters and bystanders.<\/p>\n
