David S. Cloud a reporter from the "Wall Street Journal" wrote an article on October 24 of this year called " Iran Charges Hundreds Accused of Joining Protests." In this article, the reporter talks about how the Iranian authorities have announced charges against thousands of Iranians in connection with the protest that has swept Iran these past weeks. Since the start of the protest, the government has detained an unknown number of people making the prisons overcrowded, and recently 1,700 people have been released from jail. The protest were sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini who was detained for allegedly violating the country's strict dress code for women. The protest has continued in different cities in Iran and in universities reaching the point of school administrators searching for students who might be connected with the demonstration. Finally, the government is continuing to arrest people and charge them with allegations that go from collaborating with foreign governments to the death penalty.
