Protests in Iran following the death of Mahsa Amini — Tudeh Party's statement

Statement by the Tudeh Party of Iran on the widespread protests in the country, following the death of a 22 year-old woman, Mahsa Amini:

On 28 June 2022, Ali Khamenei broadcasted a message on social media designed to intimidate the people [of Iran] and brazenly defend the murderous crimes of the regime during the 1980s - threatening to have them repeated in the current conditions, stating," The God of the 1980s is the same God as this year's!". This is a clear sign of the [veteran] dictator's concerns about the regime's critical situation.
