Iran Protests in 2021<\/sup><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As 2021 draws to a close, a look back at the year highlights just how restive the Iranian society has become amidst the ever-worsening socio-economic crises that have brought them to the brink of explosion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protests have been a huge feature of this year, with hundreds of thousands of Iranians taking to the streets each week to fight for their rights and air their grievances about the Iranian regime, who through their greed, corruption, abysmal policies and malign activities have effectively destroyed the Iranian economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February, a number of fuel porters in Sistan and Baluchestan province were unlawfully killed, which triggered a series of intense protests that lasted for weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skipping to July, protests over power outages in Khuzestan <\/a>province turned deadly when the regime responded in a violent manner to quell the unrest. Security forces opened fire on the crowds and in the process, dozens of civilians lost their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent months, Isfahan <\/a>saw one of the largest protests in response to severe water shortages in the province, which were caused by bad government policies. The protests initially began when a group of farmers, who were struggling to irrigate their land, took to the streets to fight for their right to access much-needed water. Soon after, thousands of people from all walks of life joined the demonstrations in support of the farmers, and the protests spread to the neighboring province of Charmahal and Bakhtiari<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
