Abstract
- The regime can't abide a celebration of Iran that isn't also a celebration of Islamic fundamentalism, and singing this old song is considered a subtly subversive act. Last October, IRGC officers opened fire on a crowd of physicians in Tehran who were protesting these kinds of arrests, killing a young surgeon named Parisa Bahmani. At one point, the band played Iran's unofficial anthem, "Ey Iran", a patriotic song dating back to the Second World War, which pays homage to the land, culture and history of the country - and is pointedly free of religious references. On September 13, Amini and her family were visiting Tehran when they were stopped by the country's Guidance Patrol - the government's morality police, who enforce public behaviour in compliance with ultra-strict Islamic orthodoxy.
