"Women in Iran are taking off their headscarves and cutting their hair to protest the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini.
Amini died in a Tehran hospital on Friday after being arrested by Iran's Islamic morality police on Tuesday on suspicion of not correctly wearing a hijab — a head covering traditionally worn by Muslim women and is mandatory in Iran — according to reports.
Tehran police said Amini was arrested for the purpose of "justification and education" about the hijab, and told her family she died of a "sudden" heart attack. Her family say she had no known heart conditions, and witnesses said they saw police beating her up inside a van, according to BBC News.
On September 18, the day of Amini's funeral, protests erupted in Iran, with women removing their headscarves and waving them in the air to protest the hijab-wearing rules that led to the arrest of the 22-year-old."

Update: At least 9 killed as Iran protests over woman’s death spread
On the chehelom of a number of protestors in Javanroud (40th day since their passing), the Islamic Republic forces opened fire on the people, and Burhan Eliasi was killed as a result of the direct fire of these forces. According to the report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on Saturday, December 31, 2022, Burhan Eliasi, a 22-year-old shopkeeper, was taken to the hospital after being hit by a bullet from the Islamic Republic forces. Hengaw has been informed that, in addition to the death of Burhan Eliasi, eight other people were seriously injured during the shooting by the Islamic Republic forces toward the people who were mourning the passing of our fallen heroes. According to the information obtained by Hengaw, 1 child was among the injured, and the condition of 2 other persons is reported as critical.
In the course of today’s events, in addition to blocking the road leading to the cemetery, the Islamic Republic forces shot at the citizens inside and outside the city, and according to the videos published by Hengaw, they shot tear gas at the people as well.
Pretending to care about serious social and political issues doesn’t make you cool neither does performative activism cause social issues aren’t things to just move on like a trend.

I just want to say that this blog will not rest until the people (especially the woman) in Iran are heard. And I will keep posting and informing what’s going on in Iran. Cause this is not just some “trend” this is something real , and something I care about. I will not stop posting about Iranians and the atrocities against the people. Until they all have a voice.
