Regime in Iran as part of its inhumane crackdown aiming to terrorize people of Iran and preventing them from participating in Sept 16th protests, has executed at least 354 people in the first six months of 2023, according to human rights activists in Iran. They added that such figure is up 36% compared to the same period in 2022, when 261 people had been  executed. But Iran’s protesters, and their supporters, are defiant. 

 Experts say that these protests transcend Iran’s many social and ethnic divisions, breaking a decades-old barrier of fear and posing an unprecedented threat to the regime.

The threat posed by these protests, analysts say, is existential to the regime, and is one of the biggest challenges the regime has faced in years. This is why the upcoming Sept 16th and beyond protests are so important.  It is pivotal that all Iranians who  are looking to remove this regime and replace it with a democratically elected government of the people, by the people and for the people, independent of their beliefs and affiliations, participate in Sept.16th protests.
