Iranian Protesters Torch Police Stations as Unrest Over Mahsa Amini's Death Spreads

TEMPO.CO, Dubai - Protesters in Tehran and other Iranian cities torched police stations and vehicles on Thursday, Sept. 22, as unrest triggered by the death of a woman detained by the morality police intensified, with reports of security forces coming under attack.

Mahsa Amini, 22, died last week after being arrested in Tehran for wearing "unsuitable attire". She fell into a coma while in detention. The authorities have said they would launch an investigation into the cause of her death.

The incident unleashed huge anger in the population and the worst protests in the Islamic Republic since 2019. Most have been concentrated in Iran's Kurdish-populated northwest but have spread to the capital and at least 50 cities and towns nationwide, with police using force to disperse protesters.

A member of an Iranian pro-government paramilitary organization, the Basij, was stabbed to death in the northeastern city of Mashhad on Wednesday, two semi-official Iranian news agencies reported on Thursday.

The Tasnim and Fars news agencies' reports of the stabbing appeared on Telegram as both their websites were out of reach. There was no official confirmation of the death.

Tasnim also said another member of the Basij was killed on Wednesday in the city of Qazvin as a result of a gunshot wound inflicted by "rioters and gangs", bringing the total reported number of security force members killed in the unrest to four.

In the northeast, protesters shouted "We will die, we will die but we'll get Iran back" near a police station that was set on fire, a video posted on Twitter account @1500tasvir showed. The 1500tasvir account focuses on Iran protests and has around 100,000 followers.

Another police station was set ablaze in Tehran as the unrest spread from Kurdistan, the home province of Amini.

Amini's death has rekindled fury across the Islamic Republic over issues including restrictions on personal freedoms - including strict dress codes for women - and an economy reeling from sanctions.
