Everybody is pretty mad at regime Anti-government protests have continued across Iran, despite efforts of pro-regime rallies to bolster the country's leadership. Authorities in the north of the country said Saturday they arrested 739 people, including 60 women, on charges of taking part in demonstrations. At least 35 people have been killed so far in the violent protests, which have continued for more than a week following the death of a young woman arrested by the morality police. Mahsa Amini, 22, was detained on 13 September in Tehran for "wearing inappropriate clothing" by police enforcing the Islamic Republic's strict dress code. She died three days later in hospital, and her death led to night-time protests in major Iranian cities, including the capital Tehran. Videos on social media showed protesters in Tehran torching a police car and confronting officers. Others showed gunfire ringing out as protesters bolt from riot police, shouting: “They are shooting at people! Oh my God, they're killing people!” www.euronews.com/2022/09/24/iran-protests-pro-government-rallies-grip-tehran-after-a-week-of-deadly-clashes
