IRAN is responsible for the “physical violence” that led to the death of Mahsa Amini in September 2022 that sparked nationwide protests, a United Nations fact finding mission said today.
The stark pronouncement came in a wide-ranging initial report submitted to the UN Human Rights Council by the Fact-Finding Mission on Iran.
Ms Amini died on September 16 2022 in a hospital after she was arrested by the country’s morality police over allegedly not wearing her hijab to the liking of the authorities.
