Four years after Mahsa Amini was killed by the Islamic Republic's morality police, sparking the 'Woman, Life, Freedom' protests, survivors spoke to The Jerusalem Post about the crackdown. Yasser Fattahi recounts how his 60-year-old father, Jowhar, was shot by the IRGC in Javanrud after joining a march for two slain relatives. Jowhar died of his wounds after being taken to hospital. The article frames the uprising as a lasting symbol of resistance against a system that oppresses women, quoting Fattahi's description of the regime as 'fascist' and 'cruel.' The UN confirmed at least 551 people were killed by security forces during the protests, including 49 women and 68 children.
