Iran's security authorities have delivered tanks and warplanes to the Kurdistan region of Sanandaj, where protests have been ongoing for three and a half weeks, while buses of special forces have also been dispatched.
According to Arab News, Une Mehsa Amini, who died in police custody after being arrested for not wearing hijab properly, belonged to the same province and the protest there has entered its fourth week.
More than 200 people have been killed so far due to the brutal actions of the government in response to the ongoing protests across the country.
The most intense protest is in Sanandaj.
The Norwegian human rights organization Hangau says that warships have arrived at Sanandaj airport, while special forces in buses are still on their way.
Human rights agency Amnesty International has said it is deeply concerned that military forces are using firearms and tear gas against protesters, while people are being targeted in their homes.
According to the Center for Human Rights, a similar situation exists in Sistan Baluchistan, where more than 90 people have been killed since September 30.
According to director Hadi Ghaimi, "The brutal killings by military forces in Kurdistan and the massacre in Sistan-Baluchistan show that state violence will increase."
Among those arrested in large numbers is Faiza Hashmi, the daughter of former Iranian president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, who has been a member of the Iranian parliament and has been working for women's rights.
He was arrested on September 27 for inciting people to participate in protests.
Judicial officials say they are accused of disturbing public order and spreading propaganda against the government.
