The United States unleashed sanctions Wednesday targeting those responsible for oppressing protesters after they took to the streets in anger following the death of Mahsa Amini, who was killed in police custody two years ago this week.

Women in Iran still face serious persecution two years after Mahsa Amini's death. But it’s important to note what has changed for the better.

As the Wilson Center was preparing publications to commemorate the second anniversary of the death of Mahsa Amini at the hands of Iran’s police, the Washington Post reported on how the Islamic Republic is increasingly turning to criminal gangs in the West to quell dissidents and critics.

Exiles and activists continue to believe that Mahsa Amini, an Iranian Kurd arrested on September 16, 2022, for allegedly violating the women’s dress code, left a lasting impression on Iran and that her terrible death at the age of 22 was not in vain.

Protesters reaffirm stance against 'inhumane regime' as Islamic Republic cracks down on rights activists, others ahead of second anniversary of Amini's death

The country’s new reformist President Masoud Pezeshkian campaigned on a promise to halt the harassment of women by morality police

Masoud Pezeshkian, the Iranian president, has vowed to ensure morality police will no longer “bother” women on the second anniversary of Mahsa Amini’s death.

As Iran marks the second anniversary of Mahsa Amini’s death, it has become increasingly common to see women in Iranian cities walking without the mandatory hijab, a symbol of ongoing defiance and the protests sparked by her death.
