Protests in Golestan in northeast Iran – March 23, 2021<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Protests erupted on March 23 in northeast Iran after the regime’s judiciary failed to condemn a man who had raped two little girls. Simultaneously, angry locals in southeast Iran clashed with two of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC<\/a>) members and set their vehicle on fire after they attempted to steal three Baluchi women’s jewelry.<\/p>\n

When a security guard in Golestan Dam raped<\/a> two seven and eight-year-old girls, their family members filed a judicial complaint and pressed charges of rape against him. Yet, the regime’s local prosecutor rejected accusations, claiming that the forensics report had denied any signs of rape. To quell people, he claimed that the security guard had been summoned and charged with “kidnapping.” Following the prosecutors’ remarks, locals in Arab Sharank village held a protest. In response, the regime’s State Security Forces (SSF) tried to oppress protesters, so people clashed with SSF forces and broke their car windows of SSF forces.<\/p>\n

One fisherman in Chabahar, southeast Iran, hurt by Chinese trawler fishing, protested to Parviz Mohebbi, Deputy Minister of Fisheries. A video from Chabahar shows a fisherman yelling at Mohebbi, saying: “[our poverty] is due to the [works of Chinese trawlers.] We have no shoes to wear.”<\/p>\n

On Sunday, the pest control department of Hafta Tappeh Sugarcane Factory workers in southwest Iran held a rally for the second day in the company’s premises in front of the security office. They demanded their delayed wages and job insecurity.<\/p>\n

These examples show how restive Iran’s society is. Any event could lead to protests, and uprisings, as it happened during the major Iran protests in 2018<\/a> and November 2019<\/a>, which rattled the regime’s foundation.<\/p>\n
