Hanna Neumann, a German lawmaker in the European Parliament, on Sunday, September 16, released a message on the occasion of the second anniversary of Mahsa (Zhina) Amini's death in custody of the morality police, stating that the world became aware of the brutality of the Islamic Republic through the 'courage' of the Iranian people. This lawmaker emphasized that despite the decrease in media attention to protests in Iran, the 'courage' of Iranians advocating for freedom and equal rights has not diminished, and since Mahsa's death, we have witnessed the strength of the 'Women, Life, Freedom' movement. Ms. Neumann reminded that the ruthless regime of the Islamic Republic still holds power and demonstrates its fear of protesters through their suppression. This German lawmaker in the European Parliament promised to continue efforts to sanction human rights violators, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, to establish relations between the European Union and the people of Iran, and to protect protesters inside Iran. Mahsa (Zhina) Amini was arrested on September 13, 2022, by the morality police, which is responsible for enforcing mandatory hijab laws, and died three days later at Kasra Hospital in Tehran. This incident sparked months of nationwide protests across all provinces of Iran, as well as in universities and schools. During the suppression of these peaceful protests, the forces of the Islamic Republic killed over 500 protesters and injured and detained thousands. Narges Mohammadi, on the second anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death, stated, 'The foundation of the religious dictatorship of the Islamic Republic has been shaken.' Reports indicate that there are strikes by tradespeople in Kurdish cities on the anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death, and the Ministry of Intelligence has threatened Mahsa's family; political prisoners have gone on hunger strikes.
