Public kissing is a taboo in Iran, so the image of a young couple embracing on a busy street was widely shared on social media as more protesters were reported to have been killed in ongoing unrest. The picture appeared as an Iranian court handed down a second death sentence to a protester. The protests erupted in September over the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was detained over an alleged Islamic dress-code violation.
