Amini fell into a coma shortly after being arrested by the moral police in Tehran on September 13, for disobeying the hijab rule. Police said Amini had fallen ill, but activists and protesters said Amini was beaten by police during his detention, resulting in severe injuries that resulted in death.
Videos posted on social media show women taking off their veils and, in some cases, burning it in cities in an unprecedented scene in Iran that requires women to wear hijabs in public.
A video from the city of Sari shows a woman dancing with a hijab in her hand. She then threw the hijab into the flames, which was greeted with applause by other protesters.
Demonstrations against Amini’s death also took place in two Iranian conservative cities, Mashhad and Qom. Mashhad is the birthplace of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the site of a sacred shrine to eight Shiite imams, while Qom is considered the “religious capital” of Iran because many senior Shia clerics live there.
