Uprising for the death of Mahsa Amini leaves 35 dead in protests

Iran has been experiencing a social uprising for eight days over the death of Mahsa Amini, which has spread throughout the country causing harsh clashes with the authorities.

Amini was arrested on Tuesday of last week by the so-called Morale Police in Tehran, where she was visiting, and was taken to a police station to attend “an hour of re-education” for wearing the veil incorrectly.

He died three days later in a hospital where he arrived in a coma following suffering a heart attack.which the authorities have attributed to health problems, something rejected by the family.

His death has managed to galvanize thousands of Iranians through pain and empathy, unlike other occasions when the demonstrations were reduced to fragmented social groups mobilized by the economy.
