Human rights group claims 83 killed in Mahsa Amini protests

 

Mahsa Amini 

Mahsa Amini, 22, from the Iranian-Kurdish town of Saqez, was arrested this month in Tehran due to her “unsuitable attire” by the morality police, which enforces the country's strict dress code for women.

Her death has sparked the first big show of opposition on Iran's streets since authorities crushed protests against a rise in petrol prices in 2019. 

“At least 83 people including children are confirmed to have been killed in [the] #IranProtests,” Iran Human Rights, a Norway-based group, said on Twitter.

Despite the growing death toll and a fierce crackdown by authorities, videos posted on Twitter showed demonstrators calling for the fall of the clerical establishment in Tehran, Qom, Rasht, Sanandaj, Masjed-i-Suleiman and other cities.

However, bundling it with Office raised antitrust concerns around Microsoft using its dominance in productivity software to influence the messaging market. In a statement, Microsoft said it was now taking the "steps we took last year to unbu...
