There's no government official or study acknowledging the phenomenon, which began as Iran entered its hot summer months and power cuts in its overburdened electrical system became common. This defiance comes despite what United Nations investigators describe as “expanded repressive measures and policies” by Iran's theocracy to punish them — though there's been no recent catalyzing event like Amini's death to galvanize demonstrators.
