Iranian Mortality Police Commander Is Beaten Bloody, Within An Inch Of His Life By Rioters

Mahsa Amini, who also went by the name Jina, was with her family last week on a visit to Tehran from her home in the northwestern province of Kurdistan when she was arrested on an accusation of violating the hijab law.

The law came into effect in 1981, after the Islamic revolution. It has long been challenged by many women in Iran, and is commonly flouted across the country.

Ms. Amini, 22, died three days after her detention while in the custody of the morality police, who enforce the country’s strict Islamic rules. Iran’s security forces issued a statement saying that Ms. Amini had collapsed from a heart attack at the detention center while receiving training on hijab rules. Her family disputed this claim, saying she was perfectly healthy before her arrest, according to news reports.

Her death quickly struck a national nerve and gave a human face to the public’s long-simmering anger over the religious laws.

The religious police have been set on fire and beaten by large angry mobs and in a video gone viral over social media, the Iranian Morality Police (Basiji) Commander is beaten bloody and can barely stand.

It is being reported that Mark Zuckerberg's Meta is blocking news and footage out of Iran.
