Online evidence casts doubt on Iran's estimate of how many protesters marched to Mahsa Amini's grave and the level of policing for the demonstrations.
Friday 28 October 2022 01:30, UKForty days of protest in Iran passed on Wednesday, with demonstrators making it clear their demands for change are as strong as ever.
While municipal offices have been targeted before during these protests, it's rare to see demonstrations escalating in this way on video.The Kurdish city of Saqqez saw people taking to the streets early in the day. It appears to have been filmed on the western end of Madar Blvd, which is located adjacent to one of the main roads leading to the cemetery in Aichi where many protesters were headed.
It is difficult to report on the ground in Iran, but one online tool can provide an indication of how many people were travelling on the 2.85 mile main road from Saqqez to the cemetery.Protesters came from all over Saqqez as well as other local towns and cities.
