Protests against the death of Zhina Amini are spreading in Iran and other Rojhelat cities.
Officially at least 41 people have died since the unrest began, mostly protesters but including members of the security forces.
Last night, protests took place in Tehran, Yazd, Marivan, Kermanshah and Sanaa. Protesters took control of the streets, and security forces confronted the demonstrators, resulting in many casualties.
In an interview with Al-Monitor, Hossein Amirabdollahian, Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, said about the suppression of the protests, "There is full democracy in Iran; Come and see it for yourselves. "He told all related authorities are working to investigate the death of Zhina Amini.
He called the images and videos of the suppression of protesters "fake". He added that there is "freedom of expression and freedom of people to do what they want" in the streets of Tehran.
Amir Abdollahian said that Mahsa Amini of Zhina Amini's death "has saddened all of us" and added, "All branches of power in Iran are working to see what happened."
According to the latest Hangaw Human Rights Organization report, 18 Kurds were killed in the protests. The Iranian Human Rights Organization said the death toll had risen to 58.
The protests over the death of Zhina Amini in the custody of the Iranian moral police have turned into a broader protest for women's rights in Iran.
Some female protesters have removed and burned their hijabs in the rallies and cut off their hair, some dancing near large bonfires to the applause of crowds that have chanted "zan, zendegi, azadi" or "woman, life, freedom".
