The president hailed Iran as a guarantor of rights and freedoms amid a crackdown on anti-government protests.

People light a fire during a protest over the death of Mahsa Amini, a woman who died after being arrested by the Islamic republic's "morality police", in Tehran, Iran September 21, 2022. WANA via REUTERSDec 3 - President Ebrahim Raisi on Saturday hailed Iran's Islamic Republic as a guarantor of rights and freedoms, defending the the ruling system amid a crackdown on anti-government protests that the United Nations says has cost more than 300 lives.

The demonstrations have turned into a popular revolt by furious Iranians from all layers of society, posing one of the boldest challenges to the clerical leadership since the 1979 revolution. “Iran has the most progressive constitution in the world” because it marries “ideals with democracy,” Raisi said in a speech to parliamentarians, quoting an unidentified African lawyer he said he met several years ago.

Amirali Hajizadeh, a senior Revolutionary Guards commander was quoted as saying on Monday that 300 people, including security force members, had been killed in the recent unrest.

Killed by the state is assumed.

God bless these people as they fight to get out from under this dictatorship…..And bless the USA from staying out of one.

That means at least 2000 are dead.

Women should cover themselves in public places?

Total lie … at least 460 confirmed dead now

Iranians would not like to follow the mistakes of some foreign supported few in Libya, Syria and Ukraine to destroy their country .
