Demonstrations that began on September 17, 2022 in Sakkız, her hometown after Emini’s death, spread across the country and turned into anti-government protests.

Nearly 500 protesters were killed during the months of events, and more than a hundred police officers lost their lives.

While Iran did not make an official statement on those detained during the demonstrations, independent sources claimed that thousands of protesters were detained. (AA)
