A 35-year-old PhD student, Nasrin Ghadri, who is studying philosophy in Tehran, died yesterday after being beaten with a baton by security forces during Friday’s protests. Outraged by the death of the woman – originally from Marivan – many people in the city of Kurdistan took to the streets today and sang “Death to Khamenei”. Demonstrators blocked some streets.
According to testimonies collected in some videos posted on social media, police fired hard fists at protesters, injuring some people.
Nasrin Ghadri fell into a coma and then died after being hit in the head. The same fate befell Mahsa Amini, the 22-year-old Kurdish woman who died in September after being hit on the head by vice squads during her arrest for improperly wearing the Islamic veil: her death sparked an unprecedented wave of protests out. like the one on Friday that Nasrin attended.
Protesters accused the government of rushing the woman’s funeral this morning and also forcing her father to announce that the cause of their daughter’s death was linked to an “illness” or “intoxication,” similar to the version adopted by the authorities in the case of Mahsa Amini.
