The [[2022-2023 Iran protests]] are a series of widespread civil unrest and demonstrations in Iran, sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, while in custody of the Guidance Patrol. Amini had been arrested for allegedly violating Iran’s mandatory hijab law by wearing her hijab “improperly” during a visit to Tehran from Saqqez. Eyewitness accounts claim she was severely beaten by officers, a claim denied by Iranian authorities. The protests, which began on 16 September 2022, initially centered on Amini’s hometown of Saqqez before spreading to other cities in the Kurdistan Province and across the country. The Iranian government responded with internet blackouts, social media restrictions, tear gas, and gunfire. |

The 2022-2023 Iran protests are a series of widespread civil unrest and demonstrations in Iran, sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, while in custody of the Guidance Patrol. Amini had been arrested for allegedly violating Iran’s mandatory hijab law by wearing her hijab “improperly” during a visit to Tehran from Saqqez. Eyewitness accounts claim she was severely beaten by officers, a claim denied by Iranian authorities. The protests, which began on 16 September 2022, initially centered on Amini’s hometown of Saqqez before spreading to other cities in the Kurdistan Province and across the country.
