the “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests were sparked by the death in custody of a 22-year-old Iranian Kurd called Mahsa Amini on September 16, 2022, after she was arrested for allegedly breaching the country’s strict dress code for her gender. The “Woman, Life, Freedom” demonstrations were crushed by the authorities, with rights group Amnesty International saying security forces used assault rifles and shotguns in the crackdown. Human rights groups say at least 551 people were killed. Thousands more were arrested, according to the United Nations. FRANCE 24’s Annette Young tells us more.

Her name was Jina Amini. She was Kurdish. She is not “dead” but was killed.
