London, United Kingdom, Sept 25 (Kayhan Life) – A protest against Iran’s government and regime was held in front of the Iranian embassy in London on Sept. 25, following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini. Amini was detained in Iran by the country’s morality police for not adhering to the country’s strict dress code for women. Amini was arrested, and, protestors believe, killed by police while in custody.
The young woman’s death sparked anti-government and anti-regime protests which spread to almost every province in Iran. Responding to the protests, Iran’s government approved a brutal crackdown on protestors, leaving an estimated 57 people dead and more than 450 people injured. Tehran also imposed an almost complete internet shutdown, leaving Iranians in the country without access to mobile networks and social media platforms.
