Dozens of people have been killed in nationwide demonstrations that erupted almost two weeks ago after Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman, died in police custody.

The death of a young Iranian Kurdish woman in police custody has set off an intense wave of protests over the past 10 days and ignited a fury in the country’s Kurdish minority community.
