'I was absolutely disgusted' Protesters gather in Cardiff after death of Iran woman in police incident

Protesters gathered in Cardiff on Saturday, October 22 as part of worldwide demonstrations after a woman died in a police incident in Iran. Mahsa Amini, 22, died in Tehran on September 16 after being arrested by the country's morality police, allegedly for not wearing her hijab correctly.

Videos released appeared to show Ms Amini collapsing in a police station and she later died in hospital. Her death has caused controversy after eyewitnesses claimed Ms Amini was subjected to police brutality before her death, something the Iranian authorities deny.

The incident has led to the largest Iranian protests in over a decade as well as sparking global protests with women removing their hijabs, cutting their hair and criticising the Iranian government. More than 200 people are reported to have been killed in Iran over the last few weeks by security forces confronting protesters in the streets.
