Marking 40 days since the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman who died in Tehran on Sept. 16 after being detained by Iran’s morality police, Iranians took to the streets nationwide in defiance of strict security measures by authorities.
Fierce rallies returned with force to major Iranian cities such as Isfahan, Shiraz, Mashhad, and Tabriz. Demonstrations were also organized in Qazvin, Zanjan, Babylon, Rasht, Kerman, Arak, Urmia, and Karaj.
