The popular protest against the head covering and the modesty police in Iran entered its fifth day today (Thursday) while the regime increased the repression measures against the protestors and cut off the connection to the Internet in the capital Tehran and other population centers throughout the country.
In addition, sources within the country reported to the exile news network "Iran International" that 31 people have been killed by regime forces since the protest began, most of them in the Kurdish region in the southwest of the country.
In addition, the news network estimated that over 5,000 people were arrested by the police and the Basij, most of whom have already been released.
In addition, it was claimed in several media outlets outside the country that at least three members of the Iranian security forces were killed.
An unusual notice published by the Jewish community in the country states that synagogues throughout Iran will be closed starting at five in the afternoon for an unlimited time due to the risk posed by the protest.
The Jewish community in Iran numbers nearly 20,000 people and is one of the largest Jewish communities in the Muslim world.
In the Kurdish region in southwest Iran, the funeral of Mino Majidi, a young woman who was killed by the police in the city of Karamansha yesterday, was held today.
Seven people were killed when the Basij forces, an anti-riot militia of the Revolutionary Guards, opened fire with automatic weapons on protesters in the city.
During the demonstration, the participants chanted the Kurdish slogan: "Women, Life, Freedom".

According to reports in the country, the Basij forces use confiscated trucks, mainly sealed refrigerated trucks, in order to transport fighters, hold detainees and move around the cities without being attacked by the angry mob.
The protest in Iran began following the death of Massa Amini, a 22-year-old young woman who was beaten by the modesty police after being arrested in the capital Tehran and died of her injuries a few days later.
Amini was arrested because she violated the country's strict dress code and refused to wear a headscarf.
