News Center- The women-led uprising that sparked in Iran and Rojhilat following the killing of Kurdish woman Jina Mahsa Amini by Iran’s so-called “morality police” continues in its 9th month. Despite arrests, detentions, torture, oppression and executions, the people of Iran and Rojhilat Kurdistan keep holding overnight protests to demand freedom.

 A 21-year-old student named Bamshad Soleimankhani suffered from a severe headache after being released from prison. He was taken to a hospital in the city; however, he died on May 28. Last night, people took to the streets in the city to protest the killing of Bamshad Soleimankhani.

The videos posted on social media accounts show that Iranian security forces opened fire on the protesters and fired tear gas to disperse the protesters. Many protesters have been reportedly injured and more have been arrested.
