DLNews World News:

Another case of violence against women is causing outrage: the Iranian morality police are said to have beaten a 22-year-old into a coma – because she was not wearing her headscarf correctly! The woman eventually died.

The harrowing case: Mahsa Amini was arrested Tuesday by the mullahs' regime moral guards for "explanations and instructions" on the dress code, according to the official account. Iran's morality police enforce strict dress codes for women, including the headscarf requirement.

But what happened after the arrest? It is reported on social media that Amini was hit on the head by police while protesting her arrest. The blows would have led to a cerebral hemorrhage.

Suddenly a problem with the heart."

The authorities vehemently reject this statement. Instead, Tehran police said Amini "suddenly had a heart problem" and was "immediately taken to the hospital with the support of the police and emergency services."

The incident is believed to have happened two hours after she was arrested. Her brother Kiaresch told the Iran Wire website that Iranian officials had reported that his sister suffered an epileptic seizure and a heart attack.

Amini was arrested because of her dress style and fell into a coma shortly afterward.

MPs are calling for the police videos to be released

On Friday, it was announced that Amini had passed away. A family member told the Iranian online portal Etemad. The public prosecutor's office in Tehran announced an investigation. Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi instructed the Interior Ministry to investigate the background.

The incident was also discussed in Parliament. Several MPs called for the police videos to be released to clarify the matter. Ex-President Mohammad Chatami also expressed criticism.

TODAY IS WORLD HEADSCARF DAY

Women tell us what they think of the headscarf.

The social media service 1500Taswir, which tracks human rights abuses by the Iranian police, shared a photo of the woman in the hospital with a breathing tube in her mouth. Mahsa Amini's situation is an example of a "deliberate crime," wrote Iranian freedom-of-expression fighter Hossein Ronaghi. The "systematic oppression of Iranian women under the pretext of enforcing the headscarf" is a "crime."

Iran has had strict dress codes since the Islamic Revolution in 1979. In the metropolises and wealthier districts, in particular, many women now see the rules as relatively relaxed – to the annoyance of ultra-conservative politicians. The government under President Ebrahim Raisi and hardliners in Parliament have been trying to enforce Islamic laws more strictly for months. The morality police sometimes use force to enforce the dress code.
