Nasrin Ghadri went into a coma and then died after being beaten in the head.
The same fate had befallen Mahsa Amini, the 22-year-old Kurdish woman who died in September from being beaten on the head by the moral police during her arrest for not wearing the Islamic veil correctly: her death triggered an unprecedented wave of protests , like the one on Friday in which Nasrin attended.
Protesters accused the government of forcing the woman's burial in a hurry this morning and also of forcing her father to announce that the cause of her daughter's death was related to an "illness" or "intoxication", similar version. to that adopted by the authorities for the case of Mahsa Amini.
