Protests erupt in Iran, one year after Mahsa Amini’s death

Protests erupted throughout Iran on Saturday to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the death of Mahsa Amini, the 22-year-old woman who died in the custody of Iran’s morality police after being arrested for allegedly not wearing her headscarf properly.

Axar.az reports that video obtained by CNN showed demonstrations throughout multiple cities in Iran, including capital cities Tehran, Mashad, Ahvaz, Lahijan, Arak, and the Kurdish city of Senandaj.

Many of the protesters chanted, “Women, Life, Freedom” a popular rallying cry used after nationwide protests erupted following Amini’s death last year.
