Mahsa Amini (2022) Digitale Kunst von Sarah Saharkhiz

On 16 September 2022, a 22-year-old Iranian woman named Mahsa Amini (Persian: مهسا امینی), also known as Jina Amini or Zhina Amini (Persian: ژینا امینی; Kurdish: ژینا ئەمینی, romanized: Jîne Emînî), died in a hospital in Tehran, Iran, under suspicious circumstances. The Guidance Patrol, the religious morality police of Iran's government, arrested Amini for not wearing the hijab in accordance with government standards—too loosely, showing some hair. Police, after transferring her to hospital, said she had a heart attack at a police station, collapsed, and fell into a coma.Eyewitnesses, including women who were detained with Amini, said she was severely beaten, and that she died as a result of police brutality.
Amini's death resulted in a series of large-scale protests across the country which garnered international attention, including a statement from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, putting a focus on violence against women in Iran. Several leaders, organizations, and celebrities around the world condemned the incident and expressed solidarity with the protesters. The United States Department of the Treasury and Canada imposed sanctions on the morality police and Iranian leaders in various security organizations.

The government of Iran attempted to suppress the protests, shooting protesters with birdshot and metal pellets, deploying tear gas and water cannons, blocking access to many apps including Instagram and WhatsApp, and limiting internet accessibility to reduce protesters' ability to organize. These may be the most severe internet restrictions in Iran since 2019, when the internet was shut down completely.
