Protesters chased police officers in the northwestern Iranian city of Tabriz on September 20 as nationwide protests continued over the death of a 22-year-old woman who was detained by the country's morality police. Mahsa Amini was detained for breaking Iran's strict religious laws requiring Muslim women to wear a headscarf. At least three people have been killed in violent police crackdowns on protesters. Video sent to RFE/RL's Radio Farda showed a woman with a bloody head injury she said was inflicted by club-wielding police.
