People attend a protest over the death of Mahsa Amini, a woman who died after being arrested by the Islamic republic’s “morality police”, in Tehran, Iran September 21, 2022.
Protesters in Tehran and other Iranian cities torched police stations and vehicles on Thursday as unrest triggered by the death of a woman detained by the morality police intensified, with reports of security forces coming under attack.
Even as the Iranian government pledged to conduct an inquiry into the woman’s death, unrest over police tactics and the economy continues to challenge Iranian authorities.
