The waters do not calm down in Iran, which stands up with protests. The demonstrations, which started after the death of a 22-year-old woman named Mehsa Emini due to torture, continue despite the passing of days. The government, which was seeking a solution to calm the public, once again found refuge in censorship. Iran has blocked access to many social media applications, including Instagram and WhatsApp.
