Many Iranian civilians – women, students first and foremost – continue to protest over the killing of the 22-year-old Kurdish woman last September. Between those who cut their hair, those who wave the hijab and those who burn the statues of religious leaders, the whole country is involved. La Repubblica has selected and verified the veracity of some footage from social media: here are the cities where people took to the streets

The repression by the authorities is very harsh: at least 154 people – including 9 minors – would have been killed in the clashes with the police, says the NGO Iran Human Rights

The Republic charted the geography of protests with the project “In the name of Mahsa”from Laura Lucchini and Gabriella Colarusso and edited by Paola Cipriani and Valeria D’Angelo. To do this, she analyzed the videos of the demonstrations posted on the Internet, working with different sources to contextualize and locate them within Iran. One of the first symbolic protests collected by the newspaper took place in Kerman, center of the country. A girl cut off a lock of her hair to applause from the crowd. The gesture will be repeated several times, all over the world

The capital Tehran was immediately the center of protests. One of the videos selected by Repubblica shows a woman, without a veil, in front of water cannons used by the police to neutralize the protests. It was September 19th. Two days later, still in Tehran, another video film shows some men from the police force shooting at unarmed people on the street. A video of 24 September is filming some civilians in front of Evin prison. Here the regime incarcerates political prisoners.
