Why are protesters in Iran demanding ‘Women, Life, Freedom’? – BBC News


On September 13, 22 year old Mahsa Amini died after being detained by Iran’s morality police for allegedly violating strict laws requiring women to cover their hair with a headscarf, or hijab.

Outrage over her death sparked protests that are challenging the very existence of Iran’s Islamic leadership.

BBC Persian’s Jiyar Gol looks at what young people are demanding and why some are saying this could be a turning point in the fight for equality.
