Tehran, Iran (HRNW)- Widespread protests across Iran over rising economic hardships have escalated into violent confrontations between civilians and security forces. Eyewitnesses report the use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and batons, with multiple deaths and mass arrests, including women and teenagers.
Human rights groups have condemned the suppression of peaceful protests and highlighted concerns over the detention and mistreatment of civilians. Analysts note that the crackdown reflects broader systemic challenges in protecting freedom of assembly, expression, and basic human rights in the country.
Authorities continue to implement strict measures to prevent gatherings, but the protests are spreading, signaling growing unrest. Observers warn that without proper safeguards, the situation could escalate into a prolonged human rights crisis.
