How has Mahsa Amini鈥檚 death changed Iran?
Protesters show a growing defiance.
One year ago Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman from Iran, died in police custody. The country鈥檚 鈥渕orality police鈥� had detained her for wearing her hijab too loosely. It sparked defiant protests across the country and calls for greater respect for women.
Two Iranian reporters 鈥� Baran Abbasi from 麻豆社 Persian and Kian Sharifi from 麻豆社 Monitoring 鈥� explain what life is like for young women in Iran a year on and assess whether the protests made a difference.
Also: Mimi Swaby, a 麻豆社 reporter who has been in Morocco covering last week鈥檚 deadly earthquake, tells us three things that have brought her hope from the relief efforts.
