‘Not afraid anymore': Clashes as Iran protests enter fourth week
Schoolgirls chanted slogans, workers went on strike and street clashes erupted across Iran on Saturday, as protests over the death of Mahsa Amini entered the fourth week in defiance of a bloody crackdown. Anger flared after the 22-year-old Iranian Kurd's death on September 16, three days after she was arrested in Tehran by the notorious morality police for an alleged breach of the Islamic republic's strict dress code for women. Iran said on Friday an investigation found Amini had died of a longstanding illness rather than 'blows' to the head, despite her family reportedly saying she had previously been healthy.
