There have been protests in Iran for almost 2 weeks due to economic crisis and these protests have now turned into violence. After Reza Pahlavi’s appeal on Thursday (January 8) night, voices of large-scale protest have started rising across Iran. Meanwhile, a video of an elderly woman protesting against Islamic rule went viral, which has become a symbol of the nationwide movement arising out of growing public anger.

In the viral video, an elderly woman is seen bleeding from her mouth. She is seen marching on the streets of Tehran and raising anti-government slogans. During this, the woman can be heard saying that I am not afraid. I have been dying for 47 years. Let us tell you that Islamic rule in Iran started 47 years ago with the Islamic Revolution of 1979. During this period, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was removed from power and Shia Islamic rule was established under the leadership of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

I’m not afraid. I’ve been dead for 47 years this is the voice of a woman in Iran who is fed up with the Islamic republic.
47 years ago, the Islamic Republic took our rights and turned a nation into hostages.
Today people have nothing left to lose, they rise.
