Protesters in Iran have marched through the streets of multiple cities in the most widespread demonstrations in weeks, online videos purported to show on Friday.
The demonstrations overnight on Thursday marked 40 days since Iran executed two men on charges related to protests that began last year and went on to grip the Islamic Republic for month.
The initial unrest – which began after 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died on 16 September, three days after her arrest by “morality police” – morphed into one of the most serious challenges to Iran’s theocracy since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
