Iran Protest Map (pouyaii.github.io)

This is very helpful, but it is sad that with the internet outages, it seems like there is definitely less data today

Placing the comments for down votes.

What about all the ICE and school shootings, mass shooting maps for USA? That would be definitely helpful.

This post is example of American hypocrisy, double standards and propaganda.

If Iran does not have oil or natural resources these clowns do not even care.

I have so much admiration for anyone who protests a regime as oppressive and brutal as theirs.

Just by being involved, I imagine they’re in serious danger. So far, more than 550 people have been killed and 20k detained by security forces.[1]

Godspeed.

Edit: these death numbers are from an older protest and are inaccurate. Please see article / comments below :)

Inspired by the bravery of the Iranian people. Sad to see so little support and enthusiasm from the Qatar funded university student crowd.

Sad how legitimate grievance is always weaponized and steered by bigger players.

Protesting the Iranian government is perfectly legitimate. Binding that with supporting a return of the equally brutal and corrupt shah is depressing.

I can't decide who I despise more, the regime or the people cheerleading a revolution where a lot of innocent people will suffer

I fear so much for the future of Iran. Iran needs to decide its future, free from outside powers. Iran's entire 20th and 21st centuries of paranoia and strife can be traced back to, partly (imo mostly), to British, Russian, and eventually American interference, meddling, and domination in the 19th, 20th, and 21st century respectively.

Iran will never have a happy store as long as it remains an "interests" for greater powers.

What's considered a "large crowd" or a "small crowd"?

Given there are only three categories, I'd expect large to be on the order of hundreds of thousands, but I don't think that is the case here?

It would be cool to have protest maps in another politically unstable middle eastern country too.

Not to detract from the content here but I do find it very telling that posts about domestic US issues (including protests) repeatedly get flagged on HN, including just today[1], but there are currently two posts about Iranian protests on the front page.

What was always intriguing for me in Iranian politics is the support for bringing back the Shah, a government which was not the pinnacle of freedom. It's either things are that bad, people are nostalgic or it's a narrative pushed by the Islamic Republic to defame the protestors (the last seems unlikely though).

Isn't there the possibility of just asking for a non-autocratic figure?

Yea, keep this coming. A 2014 coup in Ukraine worked wonderfully!

Be weary of taking this seriously. The Israelis are trying to drum up support for attacking Iran. It's pretty shameful that this is posted on HackerNews tbh.

The immediate flagging of any non-Zionist comment on this and the other Iran post is pretty wild. Mods can you please disable flags or at least do something about the clear manipulation happening here?

Just gonna drop this, from dang a few days ago:

>we want most political stories to be flagged on HN, for a critical reason: if they weren't, then HN would turn into a current-affairs site, and that would not be HN at all.

See all the instances of "we do not want most political stories":

Guess this is one of the exceptions!

“If Iran shots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
