Iranian protests reach 100 days: Official warns situation 'dangerous'

Protests continued across Iran for the 100th day on Saturday, as the Iranian government continued to escalate its crackdown on protests, issuing additional death sentences against protesters and restricting internet access.

Protesters gathered in Tehran, Mashhad, Karaj, Sanandaj, Ahvaz, Isfahan and Bandar Abbas, among other cities, chanting slogans such as "death to the dictator" and "we don't want an Islamic Republic."

The gatherings took place despite heavy snowfall and rain.

In Karaj, a crowd of protesters chanted "our judges are murderers, the whole system is corrupt" in videos shared by the 1500tasvir account.

The protests, sparked originally by the killing of Mahsa Amini by Tehran's "morality police" in September, marked 100 days on Saturday, despite the pressure placed by regime forces on demonstrators. READ MORE
