United States Secretary Sanctions Iranian Police Amid Mahsa Amini Outrage and Protests

Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman, died while in the custody of the Islamic republic’s “morality police” last week after she allegedly broke hijab rules. In what has been compared to the United State’s George Floyd protests, protesters in Iran have been demonstrating for a week, with some women cutting their hair and setting their hijabs on fire.
