Iran opposition leader mirrors shah in critique of crackdown
Mir Hossein Mousavi, the Iranian opposition figure under house arrest, compared the current crackdown on fuel price protests to the shah era killings. He drew parallels between November 2019 demonstrations and 1978 events, noting the regime’s use of force and referencing the shah’s abuses. Amnesty International cites at least 161 deaths with up to 200,000 participants.
