Iran's state broadcaster was apparently hacked on Saturday after a live news bulletin was intercepted to broadcast messages against the supreme leader.
A mask was shown on the screen, followed by flames surrounding the image of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
This group of hackers called themselves 'Adalat-i-Ali'. At least three protesters have been killed in clashes with security forces in a new wave of protests in Iran following the death of Mahsa Amini. Mehsa Amini was detained by Tehran's 'morality police' for allegedly not covering her hair properly. A 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish woman died on September 16, three days after being detained.
His death has sparked mass protests in the country. On Saturday, TV Bulletin was hacked at around 6 am local time. Meanwhile, a gun was shot in his face along with a picture of the Iranian leader. In addition, photographs of Mehsa Amini and three other women who died in recent protests were shown.
At one point it was written that 'you should join us and raise your voice while another message read that 'the blood of our youth is being sued by your hands.'
A rebellion of this nature against Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is historically rare. He is the powerful ruler of Iran, but after the death of Mehsa Amini, people openly opposed him.
On Saturday, videos emerged on social media in which female students of a university in Tehran are chanting slogans of 'leave' during the visit of President Ibrahim Raisi
On the same day, two people were killed in Sanandaj city. A man was shot in his car as he honked his horn to support the protesters. While in one of the videos online, it was seen that a woman was shot in the neck in Mashhad, after which she was lying unconscious on the ground.
According to Iran's official news agency IRNA, a police official in Sanandaj said that a group against the revolutionaries had killed a man.
Iran's Forensic Medicine Organization said on Friday that Mehsa Amini died of a lack of oxygen supply to the brain and multiple organ failure, not head injuries as claimed by the family and protesters.
Meanwhile, human rights activists say that the protests began on September 17 and since then more than 150 people have been killed.
In several cities, shops are closed in favor of the protesters. Protesters in Tehran's markets set fire to police checkpoints and chased away security personnel.
Protesters arriving in Tehran's markets are alarming for Iranian leaders as they have also received support from businessmen.
