Iran's police warn they will confront 'with all their might' protests that erupted nearly two weeks ago over the death of Mahsa Amini in custody
Iranian officials say they have made over 1,200 arrests — including activists, lawyers and journalists — while Fars news agency says"around 60" people have been killed in the unrest.
"Today, the enemies of the Islamic Republic of Iran and some rioters seek to disrupt the order, security and comfort of the nation using any pretext," the police command said on Wednesday, quoted by Fars news agency. In a meeting during last week's UN General Assembly, Guterres "stressed to President Raisi the need to respect human rights, including freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association," the UN chief's spokesperson said.
Widespread protests took place for a 12th straight night on Tuesday, according to opposition media based outside Iran, despite internet restrictions designed to impede gatherings and prevent images of the crackdown from getting out. A cousin of Amini said she had been visiting Tehran with her family when she encountered the notorious morality police and died after a "violent blow to the head".
In an interview with AFP news agency, the son of Iran's late shah hailed the protests as a landmark revolution by women and urged the world to add to the pressure on the clerical leadership.
