In spite of the government’s attempt to quell discontent with an internet blackout, protests are raging across the country, and the father of an Iranian lady who died in police detention last week has accused officials of lying about her death.
Doctors wouldn’t allow Amjad Amini visit his daughter after she passed away, according to Amjad Amini, whose daughter Mahsa passed away following a morality police detention in Tehran.
According to Emtedad news, an Iranian pro-reform media site, her family has stated that she did not have a pre-existing cardiac problem, despite Iranian authorities’ claims that she died after having a “heart attack” and going into a coma. As a result of the public’s disbelief of the authorities’ explanation for her death, violent demonstrations have broken out.
“They tell lies. They’re making up stories. Everything is a lie; despite my pleadings, they refused to allow me see my daughter “Amjad Amini said on Wednesday to BBC Persia.
Prior to her funeral, he saw his daughter’s body, which was completely wrapped aside from her face and feet, but he did saw some bruises on her feet. He added, “I have no idea what they did to her.
Mahsa Amini was shown on camera falling at a “re-education” facility where she had been sent by the morality police to get “advice” on her clothing, according to CCTV video posted by Iran’s official television.
Anger over her death has grown since her passing, spreading to include topics like freedoms in the Islamic Republic and the damaging effects of sanctions on the economy.
Despite efforts by the government to contain the spread of rallies through internet outages, protests and violent confrontations with police have erupted in towns and cities around Iran.
