Iran Bolsters Surveillance in Mahsa Amini's Home Town Ahead of Her Death Anniversary

As the second anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death approaches, the Islamic Republic's officials in Saqqez, her birthplace, are implementing measures to crack down on potential protests.

Amini's death in the custody of Iran's Morality Police sparked nationwide protests in 2022.

Now, one of the primary anti-protest actions being taken by local authorities is the bolstering of the city's surveillance capabilities. 

New cameras are being installed on roads and streets throughout Saqqez, with a particular focus on areas that were not covered during last year's installations. 

The ongoing process appears to be part of a broader policy to monitor and control public spaces.

The installation of these cameras continues a trend observed before the first anniversary of Amini's death.

Simultaneously, various government organizations are orchestrating events that appear designed to project an image of normalcy in the city. 

These efforts seem aimed at counterbalancing the tense atmosphere ahead of Amini's death anniversary.
