Who is Mahsa Amini?
Mahsa (Zhina) Amini, a 22-year-old woman from Saqqez in Kurdistan Province, western Iran, who traveled to Tehran with her family, was arrested on 13 September by the regime’s so-called “Guidance Patrol” at the entry of the Haqqani Highway while she was with her brother, Kiaresh Amini, and transferred to the “Moral Security” agency. He was told she’d be taken to the detention center for a “briefing class” before being released in an hour. Instead, she was taken by ambulance to Kasra Hospital.
Amini was in a coma in Kasra Hospital in Tehran for two days, which infuriated the general public and sparked new protests against the Guidance Patrol and the hijab law. On September 16, she died in the intensive care unit.
The clinic where Amini was treated said on Instagram that she was brain dead when she was admitted. The Instagram post was later removed.
Kiaresh, Amini’s brother, noticed bruises on her head and legs. According to the women who were detained with Amini, she was severely beaten for resisting the officers’ insults and curses.
Based on the clinical symptoms, including bleeding from the ears and bruises under the eyes, a number of doctors concluded that Amini had suffered a brain injury.
Officers were accused of beating her by witnesses, but Police Brig-Gen Hossein Rahimi denied such “cowardly accusations.”
Mahsa Amini cause of death
According to preliminary information from Mahsa’s death reports, she died of heart failure two days after the traumatic experience. However, new evidence emerged that Mahsa had been repeatedly slammed into a police car and abused with a stick.
