Iran issued a series of death sentences as women-led protests over Mahsa Amini’s death in custody entered the third month Wednesday, with clashes reportedly claiming at least seven lives in two days. That toll did not include six people authorities said were killed by gunmen who attacked protesters and police later Wednesday in the southwestern province of Khuzestan.
Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian woman of Kurdish origin, died in the custody of the notorious morality police after her arrest for an alleged breach of Iran’s strict dress code for women. Organisers of the protests have called for three days of actions to commemorate hundreds killed in the “Bloody Aban” — or Bloody November — demonstrations that erupted on November 15, 2019, after a shock decision to hike fuel prices. The anniversary gave new momentum to the Amini protests, which have seen women burn their headscarves and confront security forces on the streets.
