This talk will provide an analysis of the current protests in Iran begun as a response to the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini while in the custody of Iran’s morality police. The movement has become more than a call for women's rights but also the demand for the end of a regime. Dr. Khalil Dokhanchi, University of Wisconsin Superior, analyzes the character of this movement (the largest since the Green Movement/Persian Spring in 2009), its issues with the regime, and the potential for democratic change in Iran.
