“Do not come to the streets! Today is the last day of the riots,”; warns Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps Commander

The commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps’, Hossein Salami, warned protesters that Saturday would be their last day of taking to the streets.

“Do not come to the streets! Today is the last day of the riots,” he said.

Since the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, in the morality police’s custody last month, Iran has been engulfed in protests.

Since the 1979 revolution, they have developed into one of the most audacious challenges to the clerical regime by outraged Iranians from all spheres of life.

These are the largest protests to be held in Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution that overthrew the Pahlavi Dynasty that ruled Iran.

The US will bring up the issue of protests in Iran and is going figure out ways to promote credible and independent investigation into the human right violations and the death of the 22 year old Mahsa Amini.

A note outlining the event,  states that the US and Albania will hold a non-formal U.N. Security Council meeting on Wednesday. Shirin Ebadi, the Iranian campaigner and recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, and Nazanin Boniadi, an actress, are scheduled to speak.

“The meeting will highlight the ongoing repression of women and girls and members of religious and ethnic minority groups in Iran,” the note said. “It will identify opportunities to promote credible, independent investigations into the Iranian government’s human rights violations and abuses.”

Additionally scheduled to speak at the meeting, which is open to all U.N. member nations and rights organisations, is independent U.N. investigator Javaid Rehman on Iranian human rights.
