Maryam Derisi

Maryam Derisi

Maryam Derisi is from Kazerun and a student at Saveh University. His arrest took place at the same time as nationwide protests in Iran in response to the murder of Mahsa Amini - a 22-year-old girl from Saqqez who was beaten to death by morality patrol officers.

The murder of Mahsa Amini triggered a country-wide uprising in September 2022 in Iran. The protests were initially sporadical around the country and against the mandatory hijab. But in a few days, dozens of cities in Iran became the scenes of clashes between protesters and security forces. The protesters' main demands were freedom of attire and the overthrow of the Islamic Republic. The focus of the protests on women led to international attention. <symbol-timeline></symbol-timeline>
