DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iranians took to the streets of the capital on Monday to protest the death of a young woman who had been detained for violating the country's conservative dress code.

The semiofficial Fars news agency said students in many Tehran universities gathered in protest, demanding an investigation into the death of Mahsa Amini and the dismantling of the morality police, who were holding her when she died.
