The demonstrations have been widespread on university campuses, but younger school children are also getting involved and being targeted by security forces. In an interview with the Shargh daily newspaper published on Tuesday, Iran’s minister of education, Yousef Nouri, said an unspecified number of students had been taken to “psychiatric facilities” for “behavioral correction” after being arrested.
The government is also punishing public personalities for speaking out over Amini’s death, or expressing solidarity with the protests. On Friday, authorities seized the passport of Iranian filmmaker Mani Haghighi and barred him from boarding a flight to attend the screening of his new film in London. In a video he shared on his Instagram account, Haghighi described his experience as and “exile in reverse.”
