Marzieh Amiri

She was arrested to follow the arrested people's situation on World Labour Day. She was a member of the editorial board of the Shargh newspaper and a social sciences student at Tehran University when she got arrested.

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>
