On September 16, 2022, the funeral of Mahsa Amini took place. She had been beaten into a coma by the Iranian morality police because she hadn’t tied her hijab tightly enough. Local residents refused to allow security forces to secretly bury her. BBC Russian Service displayed a photo of her grave with the inscription: "You didn’t die. Your name will be a rallying call!" During the ceremony, women began removing their hijabs in protest and chanting, "Death to the dictator!"

More than 500 protesters were shot in the streets, and many others were injured or arrested. The Center for Human Rights in Iran collected interviews with Iranians. One quote: "The support of Iranians abroad is important. The intimidating atmosphere, the increase in executions, and the lack of support for the Iranian movement from some western countries, have dampened the revolutionary aspirations of some."

According to a report by the UK Ministry of Defense on X (formerly Twitter) on September 13, Iran has shipped Fath-360 missiles with a range of up to 120 km to Russia.

You might ask: "What about the protest inside Iran?" Just 2 years ago the mullahs regime killed at least nearly 600 iranian people. Iranian people want to live like many people who live in the free world based on human rights. Which of course include women rights and LGBTQ rights as well for instance. Iranians want freedom and democracy. So if you hear from someone that the demand of the Iranian people is just hijab and nothing else that is not true and that is a big lie. Iranian people also do not have any enmity with any nation, including Israel. They strongly disagree with arming Putin's regime, such as delivering weapons, missiles, and drones that Russia uses against the people of Ukraine. Also strongly disagreed with their money being spent to support terrorist groups funded by the Islamic regime. And I also wish for all women in the world to reclaim their freedom, so I would say: "Woman. Life. Freedom".

Before the 2020 elections, Lukashenko either arrested or barred opposition candidates from participating. He viewed Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, like all women, as unfit to take his place. The trio of Svetlana, Maria Kolesnikova, and Veronika Tsepkalo became symbols of change.

Lukashenko declared that he had received 80% of the votes. According to independent organizations, 56% of voters supported Tikhanovskaya, and only 34% backed Lukashenko.

Protests broke out. Women shielded men and chanted at the police: "No one will give you what you want!" Footage of protest dispersals, beatings, and torture at the Okrestino detention center shocked the world. Putin then stepped in to support his dictator friend.

Although Lukashenko pardoned 30 political prisoners on September 4, the human rights organization Viasna recognized five more political prisoners in August. The health of Maria Kolesnikova, who is serving an 11-year sentence, is of great concern—her weight has dropped to 45 kg.

In June, Verstka reported that the Kremlin promised the Russian Orthodox Church not to pass a law against domestic violence. The Russian Orthodox Church believes such a law would "undermine the foundation of the traditional family."
