The data points available do not reflect a situation in which the protesters are entirely peaceful, or the regime only clamps down on violent protesters. Reality appears far less neat. The government has clearly clamped down extremely brutally in the darkness of the internet shutdown. But evidence is also emerging of brutal violence from elements within the protesters as well - levels of violence rarely seen in previous protests. In this clip, a group of protesters appears to have beaten up a police officer and then set him on fire. A young woman is seen filming it. Later, another group of protesters beat and kicked a lifeless person lying on the ground. Protesters are also seen throwing Molotov cocktails and setting buildings on fire. In the past, once protests turned violent (in 2009, this took several weeks and was on a smaller scale), it tended to repel other protesters and result in smaller but more radicalized demonstrations. Anger today, however, is at a completely different level, so a larger sway of the protesters may view violence as acceptable (anecdotally, there is a growing view in certain quarters that violence is necessary, based on past failures to overthrow the regime) All in all, when also taking into account the geopolitical situation in which a) Israel seeks a destabilized Iran, b) Trump showing a growing inclination to strike Iran militarily, c) pro-Israel elements in Washington declaring that the protesters will be receiving arms from the outside, the risk of the Syrianization of Iran cannot easily be dismissed. Everyone I have spoken to expresses both hope and fear. Hope, because some form of change is deemed necessary, and fear, because it is wishful thinking to dismiss the grave risks associated with the situation.

🚨#URGENTSTATEMENT The Government of India is trying to betray the youth of this nation. During today’s hearing, the Supreme Court made its intention very clear: it sought a list of FIRs registered against students and protesters across the country from the Union Government so that it can quash all of them at one go, in exercise of its powers under Article 142. The Court sought this information not once, not twice, but thrice. Yet, the Union Government’s lawyer did not commit to furnishing such a list and instead actively resisted it. But why? On July 25, CJP called off its nationwide agitation in good faith after the Government of India gave solemn commitments concerning the withdrawal of FIRs, protection of protesters from punitive action, and compensation to the affected families at a national press conference with the CJP. Today, the Supreme Court itself offered a clear path towards giving effect to one of those commitments. Providing a consolidated list of FIRs would, in fact, make it easier for the Union Government and BJP/NDA-ruled states to fulfil the assurance they gave to the country on July 25. But the Government of India is resisting. The Court even offered the Union Government an alternative: if there are cases involving hardened criminals with a history of heinous offences who are alleged to have committed acts of violence during the protests, the Government could identify those FIRs separately so that such cases may be dealt with on their own merits. The young people of this country are entitled to ask whether the Government of India ever intended to honour its word, or whether the assurances given by two Union Ministers before the nation on July 25 were merely meant to bring an end to a peaceful nationwide movement. We will not permit the Government to play games with the trust of India’s students, Gen-Z and young citizens. CJP has exercised patience. We have negotiated in good faith. We called off our agitation in good faith. And we have given the Government sufficient opportunity to honour its commitments in good faith. That patience is now running out. And therefore we now warn the government. If the Government does not immediately demonstrate concrete steps towards honouring the July 25 commitments, the Cockroach Janta Party will convene its National Working Committee within the next two days to decide the next course of nationwide action. We hope the Government understands the seriousness of this moment. Do not mistake restraint for surrender. Do not mistake good faith for weakness. And do not play with the trust of an entire generation. What CJP does next will depend entirely upon what the Government of India chooses to do now.
