Tensions remain high in the country, with videos showing students jeering at government officials, demanding greater freedoms, and holding posters of fellow students who have been arrested.
A group of university students at the Khajeh Nasir Toosi University of Technology in the Iranian capital, Tehran, have also held a vigil today to mark the 40 days since Amini’s death and the end of the traditional mourning period in Iran.
On the same day, Iranian security forces reportedly opened fire on mourners who had gathered in their thousands in Amini’s hometown to pay tribute at her grave.
Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian of Kurdish origin, died on 16 September, three days after her arrest by the morality police while visiting Tehran with her younger brother. Her death has sparked mass protests across Iran and abroad.
According to Oslo-based organisation Iran Human Rights, 141 demonstrators have been killed during the crackdown on the Amini protests, in an updated death toll on Tuesday.
