Protests ignited by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was detained by the country's morality police. Security forces are using deadly force to suppress protestors and the situation is bleak--shots continually firing between security forces and protestors, children dying in their parents' arms, drivers with vicious bullet wounds all over their bodies, fires and explosions. If protestors go to the hospital for their wounds, they risk arrest by plain-clothed police officers. The fight has morphed from equitable treatment to freedom in Iran. "...We are protesting for freedom in Iran. For the prisoners and the condemned, for the people of Iran calling for the regime to go. Everyone wants this regime to go (CNN)."
