Nationwide protests intensified in Iran after Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman, died in police custody for not wearing her hijab correctly. According to the Iran Human Rights (IHR), at least 185 people, including 19 children, have been killed by the police since October 8th. The Morality Police arrested Amini in Teheran for not wearing her hijab correctly on September 13th, and she passed away at the hospital after being in a coma for three days. The protests started in Kurdistan, Amini’s hometown, and have now spread to 20 major cities in Iran, including Teheran. Female protesters rallied against Amini’s death by throwing off and burning their hijabs. Amini’s death triggered Iranian hostilities toward the Hijab Law, which has obligated Iranian women to wear hijabs in public places since the Islamic Revolution in 1970. The Morality Police, established in 2005, justified their surveillance and examination of Iranian women under the Hijab Law, which is an infringement of human rights. Resentment is growing due to the police’s explanation that they did not use violence and that Amini died from her underlying diseases due to. The bereaved claimed that the police are refusing to disclose videos that captured the footage of her death and are prohibiting them from seeing her body. Nada Al-Nashif, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, said, “An independent competent authority must promptly and impartially investigate Amini’s tragic death and allegations of torture and ill-treatment."
