Woman, Life, Freedom!’ has become the battle-cry of the country-wide uprising in Iran.
It was sparked by the death of 22 year old Kurdish Iranian woman, Mahsa Amini (her Kurdish name is Jina, the ‘J’ pronounced as it is in French) in police custody.
Mahsa was arrested in Tehran for not wearing her hijab ‘properly’. She was severely beaten, went into a coma, and died.
