At least 50 people were killed in the crackdown on protests in Iran.

The demonstrations followed the death of Mahsa Amini, the 22-year-old Kurdish woman who died after ending up in a coma while she was in the custody of the moral police, who had arrested her because she was not wearing her veil correctly: the hijab.

This was announced today by the NGO Iran Human Rights, which is based in Oslo.

The latest official report released by Tehran State TV speaks of 26 deaths among demonstrators and policemen.

Rampant anger for Mahsa Amini has fueled hostility against the regime "of the oppressed".

Until last year there were localized and specific protests, now there is a general and one-way protest, prompted by the idea that now the regime of the Islamic Republic not only does not do the interests of its own society, but that it is actually concretely and physically dangerous.
