Iranian authorities detained the father of Mahsa Amini on the one-year anniversary of her death Saturday, Iranian journalists and rights groups have said.
Amini was killed in the custody of the morality police on September 16, 2022, after being arrested for allegedly failing to wear her headscarf properly. Her death triggered protests throughout Iran. Iranian journalist and founder of activist outlet “IranWire” Maziar Bahari told CNN that Amini’s father, Amjad, has been regularly summoned by security officers in the months following his daughter’s death. “Today he was detained for a few hours,” Bahari told CNN.
This comes after Amini’s uncle, Safa Aeli who resides in Saqqez, was also arrested by authorities on Tuesday, according to a member of the family and reports from the Human Rights Activists News Agency . Although large scale protests have not yet been observed Saturday, at least 13 Kurdish cities in the province where Amini hails from have gone on strike, Kurdish rights group Hengaw said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
