University students are continuing to hold demonstrations and defy a clampdown by the Iranian regime. Footage circulating on social media appears to show students jeering at government officials and holding posters of fellow students who have been arrested.
Wednesday marks 40 days since Amini's death and the end of the traditional mourning period in Iran. Further protests and ceremonies are reportedly planned in tribute to Amini and other young women killed by the authorities.
