At least 92 killed in Iran's Mahsa Amini protests: rights group
At least 92 people have been killed as Iran has cracked down on women-led protests sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini after her arrest by the notorious morality police, the group Iran Human Rights said Sunday. Kurdish Iranian Amini, 22, was pronounced dead on September 16 after she was detained for allegedly breaching rules requiring women to wear hijab headscarves and modest clothes, sparking Iran's biggest wave of popular unrest in almost three years. An additional 41 people died in clashes on Friday in Iran's far southeast, reported Oslo-based IHR citing local sources, saying the protests were sparked by accusations that a police chief in the region had raped a teenage girl of the Baluch minority.
