Mahsa Amini was visiting family in Tehran when she was detained by the morality police for not wearing the compulsory hijab correctly. The police have been accused of covering up her death after a CT scan of Amini’s head showed a bone fracture, haemorrhage and brain edema.

Protests have turned violent as police fire teargas into crowds. The head of Iran’s morality police has reportedly been suspended from his post but officials deny this claim.
