Mahsa Amini is a 22-year-old woman who was arrested by Iran’s "morality police" for not properly wearing her headscarf. She was taken into custody and died three days later. Since Mahsa's death, protests in Iran have blown up, with women burning their hijabs and cutting their hair.
Police say Mahsa collapsed while she was detained and died of a heart attack, but her family says she was perfectly healthy. Witnesses allege seeing officers beat Mahsa as she was loaded into the police van, and there are also allegations that she took blows to the head.
The United Nations has said they received a number of videos showing Iran’s morality police violently cracking down on women for not following hijab rules. They’ve called for an independent investigation into Amini’s death.
