The spontaneous outburst of anger over the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman while being in the custody of Iran’s ‘Morality Police’ has barreled into the third week now. And the flames of protests look like they are here to stay.
The guidance patrols or Gasht-e-Ershad, commonly known as the ’Morality Police’ of Iran, detained Amini on September 13 for flouting the country’s dress code for women as she apparently was wearing an ‘improper head covering’.
After enjoying a little leniency in the Hijab rule during the more reformist Hassan Rouhani’s regime, women in Iran again were made to abide by stringent restrictions on clothing once the hardliner President Ebrahim Raisi took over the post in 2021.
According to Islamic Republic’s present advisory, women are advised to cover up in public by wearing a “hijab” or headscarf that is supposed to completely hide the hair.
Authorities claimed that Mahsa succumbed to death on September 16 owing to a cardiac failure three days after falling into a coma while her family, rejecting the possibility of any underlying medical condition to be the cause of her death, firmly pointed towards custodial brutality and asserted that she was beaten.
‘She was tortured, according to eyewitnesses’, said Amini’s cousin Erfan Mortazaei, as per media reports.
“She was tortured in the van after her arrest, then tortured at the police station for half an hour, then hit on her head and she collapsed”, he added.
The protests that were ignited by her death in Tehran are now raging across 40 provinces of the nation. The unrest is believed to have killed over seventy people so far while countless people got arrested. The authorities have imposed stringent restrictions on internet services and clamped down on protesters. Access to social media platforms and messaging applications has also been curtailed.
