Mahsa Amini: dozens injured in Iran protests after death in custody

Amini, 22, reportedly beaten by morality police in Tehran for not complying with hijab regulations

More than 30 Iranians were injured, some seriously, while taking to the streets to protest after the death of a 22-year-old Kurdish woman three days after she was arrested and reportedly beaten by morality police in Tehran.

The circumstances of Mahsa Amini's death on Friday are hotly contested, but her family denied official reports that she suffered from epilepsy and instead claimed she was beaten by the police. She had been visiting Tehran with her brother when she was picked up by police outside a metro station and put into a van, for allegedly not complying with the country's hijab regulations.
