Ahead of the Sept. 16 anniversary of Mahsa Amini’s death, days before her 22nd birthday, government opponents say Iran is conducting a wide-ranging crackdown to stifle possible dissent, including seekingfull control of internet in Iran.

Last year, at least 22,000 were arrested in the protests and seven people executed. The demonstrations - the biggest and most widespread since the Islamic Republic was founded in 1979 - were sparked after images spread on social media of Amini lying unconscious in a hospital bed following her arrest.
