Iran unrest takes new turn as schoolgirls join protests
A fresh episode was seen in raging protests across Iran as schoolgirls defiantly twirled headscarves and chanted against Iran's supreme leader, who ordered a crackdown on the protesters.
Demonstrations that started after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in the custody of Iran's morality police and rapidly grew into nationwide anti-government unrest entered their 19th day, taking a new turn not seen in previous Iranian protests.
One video after another was shared on social media showing teenage high school girls waving their headscarves and chanting "women, life, freedom" on the streets of Tehran and other major cities.
