Belgium (Brussels Morning Newspaper) Over 130 deaths and still counting. We all know the brutal story. Public protests in Iran broke out after Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, died in custody on 16 September, three days after her arrest, for not abiding by Iran’s strict rules for women on wearing the hijab and modest clothing. Many people lost their lives during the protests, also last Sunday during clashes between students and the police at the university in Teheran.
