Clashes in Iran as Protests Over Woman’s Death Persist

Riot police and security forces have clashed with protesters in several Iranian cities amid demonstrations against the death of a woman held in captivity by the country’s morality police for failing to properly wear a hijab. The latest protests took place in Tehran, Tabriz, Karaj, Yazd and other areas, continuing the outpouring of calls for justice that began September 17. Iranian officials have said 41 people have died since the protests began, while human rights groups put the toll higher.
