News Center- Since the nationwide protests started in Iran and Rojhelat following the killing of Jina Mahsa Amini in September 2022, the Iranian regime has used all kinds of methods to quell the protests.

Hundreds of people, including academics, artists, activists and journalists have been arrested in the country since September 2022.

Iranian teacher Ateke Rajabi was arrested on May 9, 2023 after leaving her home to take part in a protest held by the Coordinating Council of Teachers' Union in the northeastern city of Mashhad. She went on a hunger strike in prison to protest her incarceration. Yesterday (Sunday), on the fifth day of her hunger strike, she was released from the prison in Mashhad on bail.

Ateke Rajabi was fired from her job last year after she refused to go to class in September and published videos criticizing the government's "unjust treatment" against students and teachers who are simply demanding their rights be respected.
