The funeral of Iranian resident Mahsa Amini, who died after being detained by a police vice, turned into protests.
In western Iran, police used tear gas to disperse a protest after the funeral of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini. This Sunday, September 18, Al Jazeera TV channel reported.
The girl was detained by the morality police for not conforming to the dress code. He died soon after. According to eyewitnesses, he was beaten in a paddy wagon where he was with other detainees. After that, he, according to these reports, fell into a coma.
Iranian police deny these accusations, saying Amini died of “sudden cardiac arrest.” But his relatives said he was perfectly healthy and did not experience any heart problems.

The girl’s funeral resulted in protests in her hometown of Sekkez, as well as in the administrative center of Iranian Kurdistan, the city of Senendej. More than 30 people were injured in clashes with security forces, according to Iranian human rights organizations. Protesters tore down posters of Ali Khamenei and shouted “Death to the dictator!” and “You’re embarrassing!”.
Opposition Iranian media also reported on a protest rally held on Sunday at Tehran University.
The death of Mahsa Amini also caused a wide reaction in other countries. In particular, it was commented by US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and US Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley, who accused Tehran of another violation of human rights.
Due to the level of outrage in Iranian society, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi ordered an immediate official investigation into the causes of Mahsa Amini’s death.
It will be recalled that in the Iranian capital of Tehran, the parents of film director Babak Khorramdin killed him in the middle of a fight and dismembered him.
