What are you protesting against?

same as two years ago, this entire system of government for being authoritarian, corruption in the Parliament and the executive branch, and the general lack of human/civil/womens rights, and the consolidation of mosque and state, also i would add terrible economic situation of the country

What are the goals of the protesters?

well, this time was much different, people are angry and they dont want this government anymore, its so desperate that chants of Long live the shah was being shouted very loudly, many want this government to Massively change its behavior and to separate state form religion and representative legislators that reflect the community, freedom of expression, speech and faith, stopping the waste of money in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen...etc

however many just want them to be erased and a new government made on top of their (the clergy theocratic leaders) graves

its safe to say the goal is to change the government or change it beyond recognition

Are there a list of demands?

there are Lists of demands, different oppositions want different things, understanding the above mentioned goals should explain the demands

Thanks in advance for your answer, and stay safe

thank you for participating, have a nice day

Irony is our communications minister said few months back

if you silence a man, you do not prove him wrong, you prove to the world that you are afraid of what he might say

and then he went on to kill the internet, he's a real dipshit

his son is loved by many, he's actually a leader of one of the oppositions

well yes, price of everything is doubled and many cases tripled

but i think its a means to an end, it limits how much of irans resources can my gov waste on arab countries that hate us (i.e iraq, syria etc)

do i enjoy living like this ? no, but i rather have the boot of sanctions on my leader's throat than not, its not changing their behvaior too much but it does make people take action

its bitter sweet

well since internet was disconnected nationwide i wouldnt know how exactly

but from people i met in the protests, confidence and willful are words that come to mind

people are desperate so everyone gives their 100%
