Sister of Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei backs protests, slams his ‚despotic‘ rule – Badri Hosseini Khamenei says Islamic Republic has brought ‘nothing but suffering and oppression to Iran and Iranians’ since its founding, urges IRGC to lay down arms | Timesofisrael

PARIS — The sister of Iran’s supreme leader has slammed his “despotic” rule and thrown her support behind protests ignited by Mahsa Amini’s death, in a letter published Wednesday by her son.
Protests have gripped Iran since Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian of Kurdish origin, died on September 16 after her arrest in Tehran for an alleged breach of the Islamic Republic’s strict dress code for women.
