Iranian women protesting against ‘morality police’

Mahsa Amini was a 22-year-old Iranian woman arrested because she wasn’t wearing the hijab properly.

Three days after her arrest, she collapsed in the detention centre and died.

The death of Ms Amini triggered protests from outraged women in Iran demanding the ‘morality police’ to be dismantled.
