<<Mahsa Amini Protests Break Out in Iran Despite Heightened Security
Cities across Iran have been overtaken by military patrols and checkpoints as security forces have been stationed at key locations to prevent demonstrations on the one-year anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death. Defiant protesters have nevertheless gathered in several cities - as seen in videos received by IranWire today. In Tehran, videos received by IranWire show Islamic Republic security forces at Enghelab Square dispersing any gatherings of more than three people. Reports have also emerged of masked agents arresting citizens in Tehran's Enghelab Square. Despite the prevailing security measures, and renewed internet disruptions, videos have surfaced showing citizens on buses chanting slogans against Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. A video from a protest rally in Gohardasht, Karaj, near Tehran, shows citizens chanting, <We are a great nation, we will reclaim Iran.> Security forces in Karaj fired tear gas when faced with protesters chanting <Our enemy is here not America!> Protesters in Karaj also chanted <Death to Khamenei!> and <Death to the dictator!> Similar slogans were chanted in Shiraz in the southwest of the country. Iranians in Isfahan and Mashhad also joined new demonstrations amid the heightened security situation. And in Mahsa Amini's hometown of Saqqez, in Iranian Kurdistan, government forces have blocked roads leading to the Aichi cemetery where Amini's grave is located. The authorities have also blocked secondary routes to Amini's grave by releasing waters from a nearby dam and flooding parts of the area. The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps has deployed heavily armed forces to Saqqez where they are conducting patrols and questioning residents. Heightened security measures in Kurdish towns are part of efforts by the authorities to prevent unrest on the anniversary of Amini's death. The 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish woman was killed on September 16 last year when in the custody of Iran's morality police. Her death sparked months of nationwide protests. Information obtained by IranWire also suggests a widespread strike is ongoing in Kurdistan, West Azerbaijan and Ilan provinces, and that shopkeepers have refused to open their businesses. In many districts of Tehran, protesters chanted slogans such as <Death to the dictator!> and <Woman, Life, Freedom!> overnight. Many people gathered on residential building rooftops or their own balconies from which they chanted slogans. Meanwhile, in several western Kurdish towns, people set up roadblocks and honked their car horns in support of demonstrations and against the government. Human righ's website Hengaw reported that extensive security deployments in the provinces of Kurdistan, Kermanshah, Ilam and West Azarbaijan had not deterred fresh protest gatherings from taking place in Abdanan, Kermanshah, Marivan, Sanandaj and Baneh on Friday evening.
In Abdanan, a city in Ilam province, a group of protesters lit fires in the streets.
Piranshahr, in West Azerbaijan, saw similar scenes as people gathered to commemorate Aminis anniversary by sounding their horns and building protest roadblocks.>>

<<IRGC Deploys Heavily Armed Forces in Saqqez
The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) has deployed heavily armed forces to Shahnaz Square, the heart of Mahsa Amini's home town of Saqqez, where they are conducting inspections and questioning residents on the one-year anniversary of her death. Shahnaz Square is in the Karimabad district, which was the epicentre of citywide protests in Saqqez last year. The protests were sparked by the death of Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman who died in police custody after being arrested for wearing her headscarf <improperly>. According to local sources, the IRGC military personnel present include individuals ranging from children under 15 years old to elderly citizens. They are positioned along Vahdat Boulevard, at the three-way junction near the city's hospital and in close proximity to Zindan Square. Despite these obstacles, people are determined to pay their respects to Amini, exhibiting unwavering resolve. Their determination prompted them to chart an alternative route through the villages of Khider and Hijanan towards Aichi cemetery.>>

<<-Mahsa Aminis family home surrounded by security forces.
<<The family house of Mahsa Amini has been completely surrounded by heavily armed Iranian security forces on the one-year anniversary of her death, IranWire reports. According to photos obtained by IranWire, Mahsa Amini's father's home is currently encircled by security forces, and movement around his house is under strict control. Amjad Amini has been under house arrest since the early hours of this morning, following several hours of detention by the Saqqez intelligence department. Stringent security measures have been implemented in the area, particularly after the announcement of the Saqqez community's intention to break the house arrest and show support for the Amini family.
Amjad Amini is also still prohibited from appearing in public places.
Many Iranians have nevertheless tried to reach Amini's grave in the face of obstacles created by security forces. Their determination prompted them to find alternative routes through the villages of Khider and Hijanan towards the Aichi cemetery. The gates of a nearby dam were also unexpectedly opened overnight - transforming the once-dry river into a surging body of water and creating new access challenges for locals and demonstrators.>>

<<Women Prisoners Burn Headscarves on Amini Anniversary
A group of women political prisoners incarcerated in Tehran's notorious Evin prison have burned their headscarves on the one-year anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death in police custody. <To voice our opposition to the unyielding cruelty of the religious authoritarian government, on September 16 - a day when using the pretext of compulsory hijab, our nation grieved the unjust loss of Mahsa and many other Iranian men and women - we burned our headscarves in Evin prison's courtyard,> a statement posted on prisoner Narges Mohammadi's Instagram account reads.
Golrokh Eraei, Shakila Monfared and Azadeh Abedini are the other signatories of the statement.
The burning of headscarves by protesters was one of the initial actions used during the <Woman, Life, Freedom> movement, symbolising their resistance to societal restrictions. This demonstration by female political prisoners coincided with male political prisoners' declaration of a hunger strike in solidarity with the protesters on the anniversary of Amini's death. In a statement released on Friday on social media, student prisoners Ali Younesi and Amir Hossein Moradi said they were launching their hunger strike <in solidarity with the uprising of the people of Iran.> <An uprising is under way, an uprising for freedom, an uprising to dismantle any form of dictatorship, whether it wears a crown or a turban,> they said. Five other political and civil activists incarcerated in Evin prison - Mostafa Tajzadeh, Saeed Madani, Hossein Razzaq, Mehdi Mahmoudian and Mohammad Najafi - have announced their intention to join the hunger strike.>>

<<Grave of Girl Killed During Protests Desecrated
The grave of Nika Shakarami, a victim of the <Woman, Life, Freedom> movement protests, has been desecrated by Iranian authorities on the one-year anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death in police custody. According to Iranian activist Barbad Golshiri, agents of the regime spray-painted Shakarami's grave black and blocked access to it in the city of Khorramabad in Lorestan province. Golshiri posted on his X account: <News has emerged from Khorramabad showing the desecration of the beloved Nika Shakarami's grave.> <They have vandalised the grave, damaged the surrounding trees and defaced the memorial site with black paint. In addition, they have cordoned off all routes leading to the site,> he added.
Shakarami, 16, disappeared in Tehran on September 20 last year, four days after the death of Amini in police custody. Her family was informed of her death 10 days later. She is thought to have been killed by security forces. The government has previously desecrated the graves of other victims of the protests, such as Mohsen Shekhari and Mustafa Karim Beigi. Shekhari, 22, was executed by the Islamic Republic in December last year after being convicted of <waging war against God.> Karim Beigi, 26, was killed during protests in Tehran in December 2009. The Islamic regime has also used other tactics to intimidate and exert pressure on the families of those who lost their lives in the protests. Video footage shared on social media shows a large number of anti-riot vehicles and motorcycle units stationed in several western Iranian towns. The increased security measures in Iran's western regions have raised concerns about potential clashes between protesters and security forces on the anniversary of Amini's death today.>>

<<Security Forces Block Routes to Amini's Grave
Iranian armed security forces are stopping people from entering Aichi cemetery in Mahsa Amini's home town of Saqqez to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the young woman's death in police custody, IranWire reports. The Western Kurdish city had anticipated marking the anniversary at 9 am, with the focal point of the commemoration set to be Zindan Square. But an eerie silence shrouded the city in the early morning hours as roads were cordoned off and public squares inundated by a formidable presence of security agents. As groups of people embarked on their way towards Aichi cemetery, Amini's final resting place, they were met with a show of force by heavily armed officers. In various locations the officers barred passage to ordinary citizens, and they dispersed multiple groups along routes leading to Zindan Square, effectively obstructing their progress towards the cemetery. In addition to the numerous officers deployed on Zindan Square, groups of motorcyclists cruised along Enghelab Boulevard, the route leading to the square. Their actions effectively prevented citizens from advancing. Despite these obstacles, individuals were determined to pay their respects to Amini, exhibiting unwavering resolve. Their determination prompted them to chart an alternative route through the villages of Khider and Hijanan towards Aichi. A nearby dam's gates were unexpectedly opened overnight, transforming the once-dry river into a surging body of water.
Along this alternative path people now face the challenge of fording the river on their route to Aichi.>>
