The Significant Role of Women and MEK Iran in the Recent Student Protests

On January 8, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps shot down a Ukrainian plane with a surface-to-air missile, killing all 176 people on board. After three days of trying to apologize, the regime acknowledged its responsibility, triggering a series of protests in Iran.

This kind of behavior is not new to the regime, much less the response of the courageous Iranian demonstrators, both men and women, in facing the regime. However, one of the most significant features of this recent wave of protests has been the role of Iranian women in leading, organizing and pioneering various scenes.
