"Women, Life, Freedom", a popular slogan used during the Masha Amini protests

The political slogans against the Islamic Republic of Iran are a series of slogans and expressions used by the Iranian public to voice opposition to the Islamic regime and its government. These slogans have developed over the years as a response to widespread discontent with the country's socio-political environment. Many Iranians say that the 1979 revolution, which overthrew the Shah's monarchy, initially promised democracy and freedom, but resulted in the establishment of a theocratic regime under the leadership of Ayatollah Khomeini. Over time, these political slogans have become a significant tool for expressing dissent, reflecting the aspirations of millions seeking freedom, justice, and systemic change in Iran.

Background

The Islamic Revolution of 1979, which overthrew the Shah's monarchy, initially promised the creation of a more democratic and just society, with elements of freedom and social reform. Many groups, including secular forces, leftists, and intellectuals, participated in the revolution, hoping for political change, greater freedom, and an end to the oppressive monarchy. However, once the revolution succeeded and Ayatollah Khomeini and the clerics consolidated power, the promise of democracy was overtaken by the establishment of a theocratic regime. [2] [5]

Under Khomeini, the political structure shifted to a system based on Sharia law and the concept of "Velayat-e Faqih" (Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist) was introduced, giving absolute power to the clergy. The regime curtailed political freedoms, suppressed opposition, and imposed harsh policies that led to the exile, imprisonment, or execution of many of the revolution's former allies, including secular and left-wing groups. [6]

By the early 1980s, many who had participated in the revolution began to feel betrayed by the regime’s increasing repression. Political groups, students, and intellectuals advocating or democracy and civil rights began organizing protests. [7] [8] [9]

Aspects of opposition to the Islamic Republic

Human rights violation

The Iranian government has faced widespread condemnation for its systematic suppression of fundamental freedoms, including speech, press, and assembly. Protesters, journalists, and activists who challenge the government often face severe repercussions, such as arbitrary detention, physical abuse, torture, and even execution. These measures aim to silence dissent and maintain strict control over the population, creating an atmosphere of fear and repression. Many slogans emphasize the need for freedom and justice, reflecting dissatisfaction with the regime's suppression of dissent and human rights abuses, for example an often-heard chant among university students: "Freedom, Freedom, Freedom" ("Azadi, Azadi, Azadi", "آزادی، آزادی، آزادی"). [10] [11] [12] [13]

Women’s rights

The struggle for women's rights in Iran is deeply tied to the country’s strict laws and policies that restrict personal freedoms. These laws, including the compulsory wearing of the hijab and restrictions on freedom of movement, education, and employment, contribute to a system of gender-based discrimination that severely limits women’s autonomy. These gender-based restrictions have spurred significant public opposition, with many women taking bold steps to challenge the status quo. One of the most prominent slogans to emerge from the 2022 protests following the death of Mahsa Amini was "Women, Life, Freedom." ("Zan, Zandegi, Azadi", "زن، زندگی آزادی"). This phrase quickly became a rallying cry for people advocating for gender equality, the end of state-imposed dress codes, and greater personal freedoms for women. [14] [15] [16] [17] [18]

Economic mismanagement

Economic hardship in Iran stems from a combination of government mismanagement, corruption, and international sanctions. Despite its wealth in natural resources, including vast reserves of oil and natural gas, the country faces high unemployment, inflation, and widespread poverty. Corruption within government institutions has worsened the situation, allowing wealth to concentrate among a privileged elite while much of the population struggles to meet basic needs. These internal challenges are further compounded by sanctions tied to Iran's nuclear program, which restrict global trade, limit foreign currency reserves, and drive up the cost of essential goods. [19] [20]

Investment in the Axis of Resistance

The Iranian government's intervention in regional conflicts and its creation of Axis of Resistance, have sparked significant opposition among the Iranian people. The Islamic Republic's regime invests billions of dollars in conflicts in neighboring countries such as Syria and Iraq, while also supporting organizations like Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza and Houthis in Yemen. This enormous financial support undermines the Iranian economy, both because of the international sanctions imposed on Iran due to its backing of various militant groups, and because the funds that could benefit the Iranian people are instead diverted to wage wars that are unrelated to their interests. Among the slogans heard in the protests you can find this one: "Neither Gaza, nor Lebanon, I will sacrifice my life for Iran" (نه غزه نه لبنان جانم فدای ایران). [21] [22] [23]

Mahsa Amini’s death, after being detained by the morality police for allegedly violating Iran’s strict dress code, sparked widespread outrage across the country. Thousands of Iranians, especially women and youth, took to the streets in protest, chanting "Women, Life, Freedom" as a call for justice and the abolition of oppressive laws. The slogan symbolizes not only the desire for gender equality but also a broader fight against a system that stifles individual rights and freedoms. [26] [27] [28] [1]

According to the protesters, the government's preference to invest in regional conflicts puts the Iranian people at risk and causes a severe economic crisis in the country. The slogan calls on the government to put domestic interests above regional considerations. [33] [22] [34] [35] [36]
  7. "Bread, Work, Freedom, Optional Hijab" Woman Life Freedom (52447823494).jpg

  10. Our dollars are in Lebanon, our soul is in prison ("Dolaremoon to Lobnan, Joovonamun to zandan" دلارامون تو لبنان، جوونامون تو زندان): By using this slogan, Iranian civilians condemn the Iranian regime for prioritizing economic support for regional allies, such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, over meeting the essential needs of its own people. According to them, not only does the Iranian government waste citizens' money on foreign conflicts that do not concern them, but it also harshens its treatment of its own citizens, and brutally suppresses those protesting against the regime. [41] [42] [43] [22] [44] [45]
  11. Disgraceful, Disgraceful, Disgraceful ("Bi-Sharaf, Bi-Sharaf, Bi-Sharaf" بی شرف، بی شرف، بی‌شرف): The word ''sharaf'' carries deep meaning in Persian culture, encompassing concepts such as honor, dignity, grace, and loyalty. ''Bi-sharaf''—without honor—is a slogan directed at individuals or groups who are seen as complicit in oppression or corruption, accusing them of acting without integrity, morals or values or regard for justice.

  13. Freedom, Freedom, Freedom ("Azadi, Azadi, Azadi" آزادی، آزادی، آزادی): This slogan represents the Iranian people's desire for liberation and systemic change. In a nation governed by a restrictive theocracy, the call for freedom reflects a yearning for individual rights, democratic participation, and the ability to live as independent and empowered citizens.

  14. "Death to the Dictator, Be it Shah or Ayatollah" Woman Life Freedom (52447994205).jpg
    "Death to the Dictator, Be it Shah or Ayatollah"
    Death to the Dictator, Be it Shah or Ayatollah ("Marg Ba Setamgar, Che Shah Bashe Che Rahbar" مرگ بر ستمگر، چه شاه باشه چه رهبر): The slogan, tracing back to the 1905 Constitutional Revolution, is a declaration of discontent with all forms of dictatorship, emphasizing that the identity of the ruler—whether a secular king or a religious leader—is irrelevant if they fail to uphold the rights and dignity of the people. It underscores the collective demand for a government that represents the will of the populace and adheres to principles of democracy and human rights. [1] [24]

[55] [56] [57] [58]
  17. Death to the Dictator ("Marg Ba Dictator" مرگ بر دیکتاتور): this slogan specifically targets Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has held the position of Supreme Leader since 1989, and symbolizes the demand for his removal. [25] [59] [1] [60]

We Don't Want the Islamic Republic ("Jomhouri Eslami, Ne Mikhahim, Ne Mikhahim" جمهوری اسلامی، نمی‌خواهیم، نمی‌خواهیم): This slogan expresses the disillusionment of authoritarian rule and a rejection of the theocratic system that began in 1979. After more than four decades of autocratic rule and obsolete ideology, many Iranians have had enough. This slogan epitomizes their total disenchantment with the system. [1] [64] [65]

International impact

Iranian protest slogans, especially "Women, Life, Freedom", have transcended Iran’s borders, becoming universal symbols of resistance against oppression. This slogan gained global prominence during the 2022–2023 Mahsa Amini protests, encapsulating calls for gender equality, justice, and human dignity. Its simplicity and universality has inspired demonstrations in cities worldwide, including Berlin, Toronto, and Los Angeles. These words have been adopted by feminist organizations and human rights movements globally, integrating Iran’s struggle into broader campaigns advocating for women’s rights and freedom. [68] [69] [70] [71] [72]

Diaspora communities have played a pivotal role in amplifying these slogans on the international stage. Iranian expatriates and activists, such as Masih Alinejad, have used social media and public demonstrations to ensure the global community remains aware of Iran’s human rights crisis. Protests organized by these communities have translated the slogans into local languages, making them accessible to diverse audiences and turning them into rallying cries for justice. This activism has pressured governments and international organizations to impose sanctions, investigate human rights violations, and adopt stronger stances against the Iranian regime despite geopolitical challenges. [73] [74] [75]

Beyond protests, these slogans have inspired art, music, and literature, ensuring the movement’s ethos reaches global audiences. [76] [72]
