<<Protests in Iran at death of Kurdish woman after arrest by morality
police.
A series of protests have broken out in Iran after the death of a
22-year-old Kurdish woman, Mahsa Amini, who died in hospital on 16
September, three days after she was arrested and reportedly beaten by
morality police in Tehran. Demonstrators initially gathered outside
Kasra hospital in Tehran, where Amini was being treated. Human rights
groups reported that security forces deployed pepper spray against
protesters and that several were arrested. Amini's body was then
transported to her native province of Kurdistan for burial, which took
place on the morning of 17 September. <The security institutions forced
the Amini family to hold the funeral without any cere-mony to prevent
tensions,> said Soma Rostami from Hengaw, a Kurdish human rights
organisation. Despite the warnings, hundreds of people have reportedly
gathered in Amini's home town of Saqqez for the burial. Some shouted
anti-government slogans such as <death to the dictator>. Kurdish civil
society organisations have called for a general strike in all of
Kurdistan. Videos of protesters in Saqqez tearing down posters of Iran's
authoritarian leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, have spread across social
media. Amini was visiting Tehran with her family on 13 September when
she was arrested by morality police for allegedly violating the
country's strict hijab law. Her family were told she would be released
from the police station after a <re-education session>. Witnesses
reported that Amini was beaten in the detention van, an allegation the
police deny. The police maintain that Amini suffered a heart attack, an
account of events that is not accepted by Amini's family. The news of
Amini's death comes amid a crackdown on women's rights orchestrated by
the country's president, Ebrahim Raisi. As during previous protests, the
Iranian authorities appear to have restricted internet access.>>

<<Police fire tear gas to disperse demo over woman's death: media.
Tehran (AFP) Security forces on Saturday fired tear gas to disperse
protesters in northwest Iran after the death of a woman arrested in
Tehran by the Islamic republic's <morality police>, local media
reported. Mahsa Amini, 22, was on a visit with her family to the Iranian
capital when she was detained on Tuesday by the police unit responsible
for enforcing Iran's strict dress code for women, including the wearing
of the headscarf in public. She was declared dead on Friday by state
television after having spent three days in a coma.
Her body was laid to rest in her hometown of Saghez, 460 kilometres (285
miles) from Tehran in northwestern Kurdistan province, on Saturday
morning, according to Fars news agency. <Following the funeral ceremony,
some people left the scene while others remained, chanting slogans
demanding detailed investigations into the dimensions of the story,> the
agency said. <The protesters then gathered in front of the governor's
office and chanted more slogans but were dispersed when security forces
fired tear gas,> it added.>>

<<UN calls for probe into Iranian woman's death in morality police's
custody.
A top United Nations official on Tuesday demanded an independent
investigation into the death of an Iranian woman held by the country's
morality police as authorities acknowledged making arrests at protests
over the incident. The woman's death has ignited de-monstrations across
the country, including the capital, Tehran, where demonstrators chanted
against the government and clashed with police. The U.N. Human Rights
Office said Iran's morality police have expanded their patrols in recent
months, targeting women for not properly wearing the Islamic headscarf,
known as hijab. It said verified videos show women being slapped in the
face, struck with batons and thrown into police vans for wearing the
hijab too loosely.
A similar patrol detained 22-year-old Mahsa Amini last Tuesday, taking
her to a police station where she collapsed. She died three days later.
Iranian police have denied mistreating Amini and say she died of a heart
attack. Authorities say they are investigating the incident.
<Mahsa Amini's tragic death and allegations of torture and ill-treatment
must be promptly, impartially and effectively investigated by an
independent competent authority,> said Nada Al-Nashif, the acting U.N.
high commissioner for human rights.>>

<<'Woman! Life! Freedom!': Fury grows in Iran over woman's death after
'morality police' arrest.
The death of Mahsa Amini while in the custody of Iran's so-called
'morality police' in September has enraged people across the country,
leading to three days of protests, strikes and sit-ins in the capital
Tehran and in Iran's Kurdish region. Security forces have responded with
force, beating and arresting demonstrators, shooting live bullets, and
limiting internet connection in the Kurdish areas of Iran. FRANCE 24's Ershad Alijani tells us more.>>

<<Three people killed in Iran protests over death of Mahsa Amini.
Iranian government officials have denounced a fourth day of protests
after the death of a 22-year-old Kurdish woman in police custody,
claiming the demonstrators have fallen victim to a conspiracy by its
enemies. Mahsa Amini died on Friday after she was arrested by the
morality police for not wearing the hijab and her trousers correctly, a
tragic episode that has unleashed fury in the streets against the
un-accountable and sometimes brutal treatment handed out to women by
this branch of the police. Three more people have died since the
government launched a crackdown on demonstrations. Local petitions have
been started calling for the disbandment of the morality police, saying
their actions enforcing the hijab are counterproductive and
discriminatory. Mohsen Mansouri, the governor of Tehran, tweeted: <The
main elements of the initial core of the gatherings in Tehran tonight
were fully organised, trained and planned to create disturbances in
Tehran. Burning the flag, pouring diesel on the roads, throwing stones,
attacking the police, setting fire to the engine and garbage cans,
destroying public property, not the work of ordinary people.>
Some Iranian lawmakers claimed outsiders, including news organisations
backed by Iran's enemies in Saudi Arabia, were exploiting her death.
They nevertheless continued to promise an inquiry. The scale of the
violence and the number of arrests on Monday night are hard to assess
independently. However, videos of beatings and protests were posted on
social media, including footage with the sound of gunfire. The Kurdish
human rights group Hengaw, which is based in Norway, said it had confirmed three deaths at rallies in Kurdistan province, one in each of
the towns of Divandareh, Saqqez and Dehglan. It added that 221 people
had been wounded and another 250 arrested in the Kurdistan region, where
there had also been a general strike on Monday. A 10-year-old girl
blood-spattered images of whom have gone viral on social media was
wounded in the town of Bukan but was alive, it added.>>

<<'I will never wear a headscarf again': Outrage in Iran after woman
dies in custody.
<<
....
A number of Iranian doctors diagnosed Amini's condition as a <severe
concussion> based on a photo of her in hospital shared on social media.
They said that bleeding from her ear and blacked eyes were signs that
she had suffered brain damage, as opposed to a heart attack or cerebral
stroke as the Iranian regime claimed. In addition, a London-based
Persian-language media published some of Amini's medical scans taken at
Kasra Hospital, provided by a hacker group that had hacked into the
hospital database. The scans showed a skull fracture and a confirmed
concussion.
A video posted on Twitter on September 19 shows students at Tehran
University shouting, <I'll kill anyone who killed my sister>.

'I am tired of being a slave to these Islamists'
Agrin (not her real name) is a young Iranian girl living in Sanandaj,
the capital of Kurdistan Province in Iran. She has been participating in
the protests in her city: <I have attended all the protests in the last
few days and I will go again today. I am going to the main street where
people are gathering and chanting and crying, and I will not wear a
headscarf. I have sworn to myself that I will never wear a headscarf
again, even if they kill me, torture me, I will not submit anymore. I
see hundreds of women everyday doing the same. This dress code, this
piece of cloth, was never part of our culture, not as Iranians and
certainly not as Kurds. Our mothers, and now we, have put up with it for
40 years.>
In the wake of growing anti-hijab sentiment in Iran, some Iranian
clothing brands have announced that they will stop manufacturing and
selling hijabi clothing.>>

<<Head of Iran's morality police reportedly suspended amid protests.
The head of Iran's morality police has reportedly been suspended from
his post as protests swept across Iran for a third day over the killing
of a 22-year-old Kurdish woman who was detained by the police after
being accused of not wearing the hijab appropriately.
A number of respected Iranian news outlets reported that Col Ahmed
Mirzaei, the head of the moral security police of Greater Tehran, had
been suspended from his role after the death of Mahsa Amini. Tehran
police denied he had been suspended or fired. A CT scan of Amini's head
showed a bone fracture, haemorrhage, and brain edema, seem-ingly
confirming that she died due to being struck on the head. The scan
results, if confirmed, are a huge setback not only for the morality
police, but the wider Tehran police force since it published edited
videos of her arrest and detention in a police centre designed to show
she died due to a heart condition or epilepsy. Her father has always
denied she suffered any such condition, effectively accusing the police
of a cover-up.>>
