Iranian emigrants and human rights advocates rallied in European cities on September 14 ahead of the second anniversary of the death of Mahsa Amini. Some chanted "Women, life, freedom" -- the central slogan of nationwide protests that rocked Iran after the 22-year-old student died in custody. The feared morality police detained her for allegedly violating the mandatory dress code for women. Hundreds were killed and thousands arrested as the government cracked down on protesters outraged by Amini's case.
