Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi said on Wednesday that the death of Mahsa Amini in jail has “saddened” everyone in the Islamic Republic, but he cautioned that “chaos” would not be tolerated.
Amini’s death two weeks ago sparked anti-government protests across Iran, with protestors frequently demanding the end of the Islamic clerical establishment’s four-decade reign.
Raisi has vowed “decisive action” against the wave of unrest that has rocked the country since the death of young Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini in the custody of the morality police.
Raisi labelled the protests “riots” and urged “decisive action against the opponents of the security and peace of the country and the people”, speaking with relatives of a Basij militiaman killed in the city of Mashhad, in a phone call Saturday, his office said.
