In recent news from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, an Iranian lawyer known for his outspoken criticism of the government's handling of the 2022 protests has been arrested, as reported by state media on Sunday.
The protests erupted following the tragic death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who died while in police custody for allegedly not adhering to the mandatory hijab rule. What began as demonstrations over Amini's death quickly transformed into widespread calls to overthrow Iran's long-standing Islamic theocracy.
