Iran protests in November 2019 (File photo)<\/sup><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Two years ago this month, nationwide protests turned into one of the largest uprisings<\/a> in Iran\u2019s history. From a sudden increase in gas prices, people took to the streets to protest their frustrations, before the demands became political mere hours later with protesters calling for regime change. On the verge of collapse, the Iranian regime brutally cracked down on the protesters to stop the unrest, murdering over 1,500 peaceful protesters<\/a> in the process, and detaining thousands more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Council of Resistance of Iran<\/a> (NCRI) said<\/a>, \u201cYet, the \u201cbitter nightmare\u201d of another uprising by \u201can unknown generation\u201d haunts the regime. In a matter of days and sparking a broader crackdown that would see countless activists tortured over a period of several months.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On November 16, the state-run Sharq daily ran a publication featuring an interview with Iranian sociologist, Dr. Asef Bayat about the November 2019 uprising<\/a> and its effects on society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
