Protests in Iran

The morality police in Iran detained a young woman from Iran's Kurdish province:

Quote:

Mahsa Amini died in hospital on Friday after spending three days in a coma.

In Sari, north of Tehran, large crowds cheered as women set their hijabs alight in defiant acts of protest.

Ms Amini was arrested in the capital last week by Iran's morality police, accused of breaking the law requiring women to cover their hair with a hijab, or headscarf, and their arms and legs with loose clothing.
It seems to be spiraling now. There's video of protesters beating police officers, flipping cars, starting fires. Some of the women are making a show of cutting their hair, although I don't understand the context of that. Video of protestors attacking an ambulance they believe to be used to hold and transfer prisoners.

It seems to be nationwide.

Another set of events that's worth watching. News junkie overload lately.
