Snowy Day in Tehran: Two Weeks After Anti-Government Protests – The Silent Struggle Under Repression
7. The Role of Resistance: Civil Disobedience and Hidden Acts of Defiance
Despite the repression, Iranians demonstrate resilience through acts of civil disobedience:

- Underground media: Distributing leaflets, videos, and news through encrypted channels.
- Cultural defiance: Singing banned songs, reciting poetry, or performing underground art.
- Economic resistance: Boycotting government-run stores or refusing to pay certain taxes.
Risks and Rewards:
- Activists face arrest and violence.
- Small acts fuel hope and keep the movement alive.
