Demonstrators and security personnel have been engaged in ongoing fights. According to the semi-official Fars news agency, a Basij volunteer with the Iranian Guards was slain by demonstrators yesterday night in Tehran. According to IRNA, another Basij member who had been unconscious since Thursday due to street fighting passed away on Sunday in Urmia, West Azerbaijan province.

According to the website of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, the country summoned Simon Shercliff, the British ambassador to Iran, on Saturday to express its displeasure at the presence of scathing Farsi-language media sites. According to the government, news organisations’ top programmes intentionally sparked unrest and the growth of riots in Iran.

Iran claimed that the news organisations’ reportage constituted an intrusion into its domestic affairs and a violation of its sovereignty.

The Iranian crisis started as a reaction to the murder of Amini, who was detained by Tehran’s morality police for reportedly donning her Islamic headscarf too loosely. Her family has disputed the police’s claim that she suffered a heart attack and died as a result.

Western nations and the United Nations have harshly condemned Amini’s killing.

On Sunday, pro-government demonstrations took place in several Iranian cities. A gathering with Iranian flags was attended by thousands in the capital’s Enghelab, or Revolution Square. A few government representatives, including Ali Bahadori Jahromi, the cabinet spokesperson, joined the gathering in Tehran.
