Hundreds protest after Iranian woman's alleged murder over hijab law, demand 'death to the dictator'
Fox News
Iran's morality police claim that Kurdish-Iranian woman Mahsa Amini, 22, fell ill while in custody, but her family and witnesses describe injuries consistent with beatings.
Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
The police rushed Amini to hospital shortly after she fell into a coma during her detention, claiming that she had collapsed while in custody, but her family said they saw evidence of beatings. Amini died three days later, but the police deny that Amini was killed.
Stéphane Dujarric, the spokesman for the U.N. Secretary-General, told Fox News Digital that the colleagues in the U.N. office in Iran were "deeply saddened" by Amini’s death and extend their "heartfelt condolences." He did not confirm whether the secretary-general would raise the topic during a potential meeting with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi this week.
