DENVER — The death of 22-year-old Masha Amini, who was taken into custody by Iran's"morality police" in Tehran for allegedly wearing her hijab incorrectly, has caused outrage across the globe. Protests calling for basic freedoms and more rights for women in the country continued Thursday.
Pantea Beigi, a women's rights and equity researcher who lives in Denver, said the morality police was made to police women's bodies. Amini's death is the most recent incident to spur action by Iran's citizens, but police beatings have been a reality for thousands of Iranian women for years. "My offense was that a little bit of my hair was showing through the veil that I was wearing," she said.
