Five people killed in Iran in protests over the death of a woman in police custody

Five people have been killed in Iran by Iranian security forces during protests that erupted after the death of Mahsa Amini, according to a human rights monitor.

Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, a Norwegian-registered organization monitoring rights violations in Iran, said that five people were shot by the security forces during demonstrations in Iran's Kurdish region on Monday. Reportedly, 75 others were also injured in other cities over the weekend.

The UN's Acting High Commissioner for Human Rights, Nada Al-Nashif, issued a statement on Tuesday, expressing alarm at "the violentresponse by security forces" to the protesters. Al-Nashif said Amini's death must be investigated.

However, the governor of Tehran, Mohsen Mansouri, accused the protesters of attacking police and destroying public property during the demonstrations.

The protests erupted across Iran after the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian woman, who died in Tehran, the capital of Iran, after being arrested by Iran's morality police last week. However, Iranian police said that Amini's death was an "unfortunate incident" and denied that she was physically harmed by the morality police in custody. Greater Tehran Police Commander, Hossein Rahimi, said that "cowardly accusations" were made against Iranian police after the death of the woman.

After Amini's funeral ceremony on Saturday, security forces fired tear gas on protesters in Saqqez in Iran's Kurdistan province. According to the human rights monitor, security forces also shot at demonstrators.

Hengaw said on its Twitter account, “In Monday's protests in the town of Divandarreh, at least two citizens, identified as Fouad Qadimi and Mohsen Mohammadi, died after being taken to Kosar Hospital.”

The Iranian Women's Association in Victoria (IWA) said that Mahsa's death was tragic. The association also demanded justice for the woman. IWA Secretary and Spokesperson, Nos Hosseini, said, “Mahsa is yet another victim of Iran's misogynous regime.”
