On 16 September 2022, a 22-year-old Iranian woman named Mahsa Amini (Persian: مهسا امینی), also known as Jina Amini or Zhina Amini (Persian: ژینا امینی; Kurdish: ژینا ئەمینی),[4] died in Tehran, Iran, under suspicious circumstances, allegedly due to police brutality.[5][6][7][8][9][10]

The Guidance Patrol, the morality police of Iran's Law Enforcement Command, arrested Amini for not wearing the hijab in accordance with government standards. Police said she had a heart attack at a station, fell on the floor, and died after two days in a coma.[11][12] Eyewitnesses and women who were detained with Amini said she was severely beaten, which, in addition to her leaked medical scans,[1] led independent observers to diagnose cerebral hemorrhage and stroke.[13]

Amini's death resulted in a series of large-scale protests across the country which garnered international attention, including a statement from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, putting a focus on violence against women in the Islamic Republic of Iran.[14][15][16][17] Several leaders, organizations, and celebrities around the world condemned the incident and expressed solidarity with the protesters.[18] The United States Department of the Treasury imposed sanctions on the morality police and Iranian leaders in various security organizations.[19]

The government of Iran attempted to suppress the protests, shooting protesters with birdshot and metal pellets, deploying tear gas and water cannons,[20] blocking access to many apps including Instagram and WhatsApp, and limiting internet accessibility to reduce protesters' ability to organize. These may be the most severe internet restrictions in Iran since 2019, when the internet was shut down completely.[21]

Background

1979 Iranian Women Day's protests against mandatory hijab laws

Iran introduced a mandatory dress code for women, in accordance with their interpretation of Islamic standards, a short time after the Iranian Revolution of 1979. On 7 March, less than a month after the revolution, Ruhollah Khomeini decreed the hijab (Islamic headscarf) to be mandatory for all women in their workplace, and decreed that women would no longer be allowed to enter the workplace or any government office unveiled, which he termed as "naked".[22][23]

Violence and harassment against women not wearing the hijab in accordance with Iranian government standards had become common after the revolution, whether by law enforcement personnel or pro-regime vigilantes.[24] From 1980, women could not enter government or public buildings or attend their workplace without hijab. In 1983, mandatory hijab in public was introduced in the penal code, stating that "women who appear in public without religious hijab will be sentenced to whipping up to 74 lashes". But in practice a number of women, such as Saba Kord Afshari and Yasaman Aryani, were sentenced to heavy prison terms.[23]

The dress rules serve as a general guideline, the details of which depend on the context, but commonly impose covering the hair and wearing loose-fitting clothes that cover the chest. A less strict dress code is imposed on men as well.[25] As of December 2021, Article 638 of the law imposes 2 to 10 days of imprisonment, and a 50,000 to 500,000 IRR fine, for "un-Islamic dress code".[26]

In the last decade, clothing in Iranian society underwent significant changes, and young women in particular tend to be more liberal about hijab rules, prompting the Guidance Patrol, Iran's morality police, to launch intermittent campaigns to verbally admonish or violently[27][28][29][30][31][32] arrest and "re-educate" women they considered to be wearing the hijab incorrectly. Under routine circumstances, the detainees are brought to a center where they are re-instructed in the dress regulations for hours, before being made to sign a pledge to uphold said regulations, and then being allowed to leave with their family.[25][26]

Protests against the compulsory hijab have been common since 1979, with one of the largest protests taking place between 8 and 14 March 1979, beginning on International Women's Day and a day after hijab rules were introduced by the Islamic Republic.[23] Protests against mandatory hijab rules continued, such as during the 2019–2020 Iranian protests, when protesters attacked a Guidance Patrol van and freed two detained women.[33]

In 2020, Iran’s government Leader Ali Khamenei was quoted for saying that "improperly veiled women should be made to feel unsafe", a statement that was supported by other officials and clerics and paved the way to more violence against women.[34][35] Among the general population, however, an independent survey conducted in the same year showed that 58% of Iranians did not believe in hijab altogether, and 72% were against compulsory hijab rules. Only 15% insisted on the legal obligation to wear it in public.[36][37]

Circumstances of death

On 13 September 2022, Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman from Saqqez, Kurdistan Province, Iran, was arrested by the Guidance Patrol at the entry of Shahid Haghani Expressway while in Tehran with her family. She was then transferred to the custody of the Moral Security agency.[38][39][40] Her brother, Kiaresh (Ashkan) Amini, who had been with her when she was arrested, was told she would be taken to the detention center to undergo a "briefing class" and released an hour later. Her brother waited at the police station for two hours, and he was informed his sister had had a heart attack and a brain seizure. She was taken to Kasra Hospital by ambulance.[41][42][43]

According to Amini's cousin, Erfan Mortezaei, she was tortured and insulted in the van, as witnessed by her co-detainees. After she arrived at the police station, she began to lose vision and fainted. It took 30 minutes for the ambulance to arrive, and an hour and a half for her to get to Kasra hospital.[44]

For two days, Amini was in a coma in Kasra Hospital in Tehran, which led to a protest against the Guidance Patrol and the law on hijab.[45] She died in the intensive care unit on 16 September.[46][7][47]

Evidence of violence

Kasra Hospital was the place where Amini died.

The clinic where Amini was treated released a statement on Instagram saying that she was brain dead when she was admitted. The Instagram post has since been deleted.[48][49]

Amini's brother, Kiaresh, noticed bruises on her head and legs. The women who were detained with Amini said she had been severely beaten for resisting the insults and curses of the officers who had arrested her.[50]

A number of doctors opined that Amini suffered a brain injury based on the clinical symptoms, including bleeding from the ears and bruises under the eyes.[51] This was also confirmed by alleged medical scans of her skull, leaked by hacktivists, showing bone fracture, hemorrhage, and brain edema.[1][52]

According to Iran International, the Iranian government was forging fake medical records for Mahsa Amini, showing that she had a history of heart disease. On 20 September, Dr. Massoud Shirvani, a neurosurgeron, claimed on a State-owned TV that Amini had a brain tumor that was extracted at the age of 8.[53]

By 21 September, the hospital had released preliminary CT scans. Government supporters stated the CT scans showed psychological stress caused by a previous brain operation; critics stated the scans showed physical beating and trauma. The Iranian government stated Amini had a brain operation at the age of five.[54] Amini's father stated "They are lying... She never had any medical conditions, she never had surgery." Two classmates, interviewed by the BBC, said that they weren't aware of Amini ever being in the hospital.[55]

On 29 September an audio file was released by a former commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps, which reports unnamed "reliable sources" saying that the reason for Amini's death was an injury to her skull and that the injury was the result of a severe beating.[56][57][58]

Protests

On the streets

People protest against Mahsa Amini's killing in Tehran's Keshavarz Blvd

On 17 September, hours after Mahsa Amini died, demonstrators gathered outside Kasra Hospital in Tehran, where Amini had been treated. Human rights groups reported that security forces deployed pepper spray against protesters and that several were arrested.[59] Then a series of protests broke out over Amini's death, including in Saqqez, her hometown.[60] Some shouted "death to the dictator", and Kurdish feminist slogans such as "woman, life, freedom".[61][62][60]

A spokesperson for Hengaw, a Kurdish human rights group, stated that "the security institutions forced the Amini family to hold the funeral without any ceremony to prevent tensions." Kurdish civil society organizations were also reported to have called for a general strike in all of Kurdistan.[61]

From 18 September, protests and marches spread day by day in different cities. The streets of Sanandaj on Sunday were partially closed and security forces were scattered throughout the city following a night of protests against the Islamic Republic of Iran's strict dress code.[63]

According to the Hengaw Human Rights Organization, security forces fired on protesters in Kurdistan on 19 September, killing five—two in Amini's hometown, Saqqez;[64] two in the town of Divandarreh; and one in Dehgolan.[65] Popular demonstrations spread to other cities of Iran, including Tehran, Rasht, Esfahan, Karaj, Mashhad, Sanandaj, Saqqez, Ilam, and other cities and the special police of the Iranian government dealt with these protests severely, as a result of which many were injured, and some political activists were arrested.[66][67]

On 20 September, the protests continued and people marched in Tehran, Sari, Tabriz, Mashhad, Qom, Kerman, Hamedan, Sanandaj and Kish, and other cities chanting slogans against the mandatory hijab and the principle of Islamic government. In Sari, women burned their hijabs on a bonfire to cheering crowds.[68] Protesters in Toronto, Istanbul, London and some other European and American cities gathered and condemned the Islamic government's crimes against women in Iran.[69] The government confirmed that three people were killed in the protests.[70]

On 22 September, protests in Tehran and other cities led to police stations and cars being burned.[71]

According to Iran Human Rights, as of 25 September, at least 54 people had been killed and hundreds of women detained and abused by the authorities.[72]

On social media

Amini's beating and death caused widespread anger among several social networks. The hashtag #MahsaAmini became one of the most repeated hashtags on Persian Twitter. The number of tweets and retweets of these hashtags exceeded 80 million.[73][74] Some Iranian women posted videos on social media of themselves cutting their hair in protest.[75] It was reported on 21 September that the Iranian government had blocked internet access to Instagram and WhatsApp and disrupted internet service in Kurdistan and other parts of Iran in an attempt to silence the unrest.[76] As of 24 September 2022, the hashtag #Mahsa_Amini and its equivalent in Persian broke the Twitter record with more than 80 million tweets.[77][78]

Reactions

In Iran

Mahsa Amini's father, Amjad Amini, was interviewed by various international media about his daughter's death and answered the claims of Iranian government officials.[79] In a phone call with him, the president of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi, expressed regret over Amini's death. The governor of Kurdistan Province personally went to Amjad Amini's house and consoled him about the death of his daughter.[80] In an interview with BBC Persian, the father accused the Iranian authorities of lying about her death and noted that every time he was asked how he thinks she died, his response was mysteriously cut from local news broadcasts. He stressed that the Iranian authorities refused to let him see his daughter at the clinic, and that when he finally saw her body before the funeral, it was completely wrapped except for the face and feet, which had mysterious bruises.[81][82]

The well-known Iranian lawyer, Saeed Dehghan, described Mahsa's death as "murder".[83]
