On Sept. 13, 22-year-old Mahsa Amini was arrested by the Iranian morality police after they accused her of not following the laws regarding dress for women.
Amini was visiting Teheran from the Kurdish city of Saqez and pleaded for mercy, not being fully aware of the local regulations. They refused, instead detaining her, loading her into a van and bringing her to a morality police station.
Within just a few hours, an ambulance arrived to transport a now-comatose Amini to the hospital. There, she died after a cycle of resuscitation, and her family was denied access to view her body or her records.
