Amid these protests, Mahsa Amini’s father has stopped Mullahow from performing her last rites. … Take your Islam and go,” said Mahsa Amini’s father in a viral video. Mahsa Amini, 22, was detained on September 13 by the so-called "morality police" after officers apparently found fault with her headscarf, or hijab. Human rights organisation Amnesty International said, "The circumstances leading to the suspicious death in custody of 22-year-old young woman Mahsa Amini, which include allegations of torture and other ill-treatment in custody, must be criminally investigated."
