The narrative discusses the ongoing protests in Iran against the mandatory hijab law. The trigger for these protests was the death of Mahsa Amini, a young woman who was stopped by the Morality Police for not wearing her hijab properly. The Morality Police, a special force in Iran, is responsible for enforcing the country's strict dress codes for women.
Amini was dragged out of her car and taken to a police station for a 1-hour re-education class. Her brother, Kiarash, tried to intervene but was told that Amini was to be taken to the police station for a 1-hour re-education class. Amini was then taken to a detention center, where her brother was also present during the interrogation.
According to local media reports, Amini's brother claims that he heard screams from inside. Amini was secretly taken to the Kasra Hospital, where the police claimed she suffered a heart attack. However, her brother was told that she was in a coma.
The narrative also mentions that Amini's CT Scans spread across media and the masses, stirring up huge debates. Government supporters claim that the CT Scan shows Amini had previously gone through a brain operation. Critics claim that the CT Scans clearly show that she was beaten.
The narrative also mentions that the government released CCTV footage showing a young woman falling to the ground in the police station. Amini's father claims that this video is false.
The narrative then discusses the international response to the incident, with statements coming in from the United Nations and Amnesty International demanding an investigation into the incident. The protests began the day Amini was hospitalized and spread to other cities as well.
The narrative concludes by stating that the hijab controversy in Iran is not a standalone incident but a part of a larger issue of women's freedom. It also mentions that there have been previous anti-hijab protests in Iran, with several prominent figures jailed due to these protests. The narrative ends with an invitation for viewers to comment on the issue.
