Opposition groups around the world prepare to mark one year since the event that sparked widespread national protests
Iranian security forces were being deployed in the hometown of Mahsa Amini on Saturday in anticipation of unrest as many across the country prepared to mark the first anniversary of her death in the custody of morality police.
The death on 16 September 2022 of Amini, a 22-year-old arrested for allegedly flouting the Islamic republic’s mandatory dress code, sparked months of anti-government protests that spiralled into the biggest show of opposition to the authorities in years.
