Mahsa Amini: How one woman’s death has given rise to protests in Iran

That is why it is so hard to predict what will happen next. As the latest protests reach new cities, Mahsa's cousin Erfan believes the momentum could have a lasting effect. "We shouldn't forget the people of Iran have been in resistance and protest against the regime for many years, but the people now are revolutionaries," he says. "They are women, workers, teachers, sportspeople, artists, taking to the streets and mixing their voices of dissent with that of Zhina's family. In my opinion, these protests will continue and it will end with the fall of the Islamic Republic."
