JERUSALEM, Israel – Protestors are filling the streets throughout Iran following the recent death of a woman in police custody. The demonstrations are the latest sign of widespread discontent with the Islamic regime.

On September 16th, 22-year-old Mahsa Amini fell into a coma and died following her arrest in Iran’s capital, Tehran, by the morality police. Her crime? Not properly wearing a hijab, the Islamic head-covering women are required to wear in public.

Her death sparked protests in Tehran and many other cities, often with chants of “Death to the dictator!”
