Mahsa Amini wasn't killed: Iran minister on death of 22-year-old in custody

India Today  

Mahsa Amini was not killed, Iran’s deputy foreign minister Ali Baqeri claimed, defending his government following the death of the 22-year-old in police custody in September this year, triggering massive protests in the country and globally. The minister blamed the West for building a "baseless and fallacious atmosphere" about the demonstrations in Iran and leading to tensions and chaos in his country. Iran witnessed one of the biggest shows of dissent in recent history following the death of Amini, who was detained by the "morality police" on September 13 for allegedly violating the country’s strict and mandatory hijab laws. Iran has also reported the deaths of a large number of security personnel since protests gripped the Islamic nation.
