Amnesty Accuses Iran of Crimes Against Humanity in 2022 Crackdown

Amnesty International has accused Iranian authorities of committing crimes against humanity during the crackdown on the 2022 protests that followed the death of Mahsa Amini. The protests, under the slogan "Women, Life, Freedom," erupted after Amini, a young Kurdish woman, died in police custody for allegedly violating Iran's dress code. Four years later, rights groups warn that Tehran's repression persists, and the architects of the brutal crackdown on women's rights have consolidated their power. Survivors of the uprising are honoring Amini on the anniversary of her death.
