The Mahsa Amini Protests began in Iran in September 2022 after the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who died while in police custody. She was arrested for allegedly violating Iran's strict dress code for women. Her death sparked widespread outrage and demonstrations across the country, with protesters calling for justice and greater freedoms. The protests quickly evolved into a broader movement against the Iranian government and its policies, particularly regarding women's rights and personal freedoms. Demonstrators have faced a heavy crackdown from security forces, leading to numerous arrests and casualties, drawing international attention and condemnation.
