Twenty-two-year-old Mahsa Amini died on Sept. 16 while in police custody. She was apprehended in Iran by the country's morality police for "unsuitable attire," allegedly wearing a hijab improperly and breaking a strictly enforced dress code.

Iranian officials say that she died of a heart attack and was not mistreated, but Amini's family casts doubt on that account, and United Nations (UN) experts have said reports suggest she was severely beaten.

Her death has led to protests in Iran and across the world, including in Canada, with some women cutting their hair and burning their hijabs.
