opposition group hacks state television

The Supreme Leader speaks on state television on Saturday evening, October 8, when suddenly a mask in the colors of Iran appears. Around the burning portrait of Ali Khamenei, we can read: “The blood of our youth is on your hands”. Below are the faces of four young women who have died since the protests began in mid-September. Mahsa Amini was the first to be arrested for not wearing her headscarf correctly.

The hack only lasts a few seconds. Huge embarrassment for the presenter, after this coup claimed by an opposition group. Again on Saturday, rallies took place across the country, sometimes violently, according to images posted on social media. In Tehran in the evening, the crowd attacked the police. Two of them were killed, according to Iranian media. The last official report dates back to September 27, and reported 60 deaths among the demonstrators and the police. A mobilization unprecedented in its scale which, despite the repression, has not weakened for almost a month.
