Iranian Woman Dies after Violent Arrest by Guidance Patrol over 'Improper' Hijab
2022-09-18
[KhaamaPress] Days after being detained by Iran’s morality police for purportedly failing to observe the country’s hijab regulations, Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman, died in a hospital.

Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini, 22, died after being violent mostly peacefully arrested in Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
for violating the hijab rules of Iran.

A flood of reactions both inside and outside of Iran have followed the death of Mahsa Amini by the country’s inquisitors religious police, aka guidance patrol.

Afghan social media users are sharing pictures of Mahsa, and in their comments, they are drawing comparisons between the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
and the Iranian morality police, a inquisitors religious police force with a similar aim and track record.

Anti-government protests have been going on in Iran since yesterday. Protests in and around the hospital, on Arjantin Square in Tehran, at night from houses’ roofs, and in the cemetery have been reported by the local media.

"Death to the dictator" is chanted by the demonstrators in the videos that have been made public. In response to this "barbaric" murder, Iranian and Afghan artists have reacted, and both domestic and foreign political figures have denounced it.

Former Iranian parliament vice-speaker Ali Motahari stated to the Iranian Jamaran in response to the beating of Mahsa Amini, "Incidents like the case of Mahsa Amini portray us to the world like the Taliban."

Among those who reacted to the Kurdish-Iranian woman’s death are two Afghan poets. Afghan poet Waheed Baktash wrote that "There is a corrupt and repressive government in our neighborhood that never stops killing its citizens."

Kawa Jibran, intellectual, activist, poet, and writer of Afghanistan also condemned the actions of the Iranian morality police, writing, "The sick thought is an active killer when it enters society; it is a full-fledged monster that feeds on human blood under any pretense."
The Times of Israel adds:
According to The Guardian, Amini’s family was told the young woman would be released from the cop shoppe after a "re-education session."

Police said Thursday that Amini was taken to a hospital after she allegedly had a heart attack while in jug.
Not surprising since she was an Old Maid of 22
Persian-language media, including the Iran Wire website and the Shargh newspaper, have quoted her family as saying that the previously-healthy Amini had been rushed to hospital in a coma a few hours after her arrest.

It is not yet clear what happened between her arrival at the cop shoppe and her departure for the hospital.

The 1500tavsir social media channel, which monitors human rights
When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much...
violations in Iran, said the young woman had suffered a blow to the head.

Iran’s morality police has been criticized in recent years over its treatment of people, especially young women, and videos uploaded on social media have shown officers forcing women into police vehicles.

Activists accuse Iran of being in the throes of a major crackdown that is affecting all areas of society, including a new push against the Baha’i religious minority and death sentence
...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead...
s for members of the LGBTQ community, as well as a surge in executions, and arrests of foreign nationals.
