Introduction
Three months have passed since the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was detained on September 13, 2022, and pronounced dead three days later in Iran. The resulting protests are still underway –albeit with fluctuating intensity. The protestors alleged that the young woman died due to ill-treatment in custody. In contrast, the police and other officials stated that Amini’s death was being investigated and rejected the claim that she had been mistreated. The Iranian authorities released video footage of the young woman’s final moments to support their claims.
