On February 16, 2023 thousands of Iranians once again took to the streets to protest against the Iranian regime, on a scale not seen in weeks. Security forces responded to anti-regime chants, rallies and burning car tyres with tear gas and shotguns, arresting many of the demonstrators.
Iranian protesters commemorated the 40th day after the deaths of Mohammad Hosseini and Mohammad Mahdi Karami, two Iranian protesters who were executed by the Islamic regime in Tehran after hasty court verdicts for killing a police officer, in what Amnesty International described as an "arbitrary execution".
