Iran's theocratic rulers have faced the biggest protests in years since the death in custody of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurd detained for allegedly violating the country’s laws on clothing.
Within hours of Amini's funeral in Saqez on 17 September, thousands of Iranians poured into the streets across the country in protest.
Iran's supreme leader later gave his backing to security forces confronting the protests. The Basij, formally known as the Organisation for the Mobilisation of the Oppressed, enforce Iran’s Islamic social codes, acting as a morality police at checkpoints and parks, at other times crushing protests.
