Instagram Post by Mahsa Amini’s Mother
Mojgan Eftekhari, Mahsa Amini’s mother, in an Instagram post shared a new picture of Mahsa and wrote, ‘My darling, for your hair’s beauty, oh daughter of Iran, who emerged from the veil and turned the world upside down.’ Yesterday marked exactly six months since the government-led killing of Mahsa Amini. Mahsa, born in Saqqez, came to Tehran with her brother in September. Officers of the morality police arrested her. Three days later, Mahsa died in Tehran due to the beatings by the officers. Upon her arrest, Mahsa said, ‘We are strangers in this city.’ The government-led killing of Mahsa sparked social awakening against the government, and the world stood in solidarity with the men and women of Iran in protest.
