After the Iranian Revolution of 1979., in accordance with its interpretation of Islamic standards, Iran introduced a mandatory dress code for women. In September 2022, the 22-year-old Iranian kurdish woman Mahsa Amini died in a hospital in Tehran under suspicious circumstances after The Guidance Patrol, the religious morality police of Iran's government, arrested her for allegedly not wearing the hijab in accordance with government standards. After her death, the Law Enforcement denied allegations of police brutality. However, eyewitnesses reported she was severely beaten, and leaked medical scans suggest she died due to head injuries received after her arrest. Amini's death rises objections all around the country and results in a series of protests.
