Iran Protests LIVE | Anti-Hijab Protests Intensify In Iran, America Makes Big Claim | Iran News

Iranian security forces reportedly opened fire on protesters who massed in thousands on Wednesday in Mahsa Amini's hometown to mark 40 days since her death.

Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian of Kurdish origin, died on September 16, three days after her arrest in Tehran by the morality police for allegedly breaching the Islamic dress code for women.

Anger flared at her funeral and quickly sparked widespread protests that saw young women lead the charge, burning their headscarves and confronting security forces, in the biggest wave of unrest in the Islamic republic for years.

Despite heightened security measures, columns of mourners had poured into Saqez in the western Kurdistan province to pay tribute to Amini at her grave at the end of the traditional mourning period.
