police stations set on fire as nine people killed in unrest

Protesters in Iran set fire to police stations and vehicles across the country on Thursday as the death toll from unrest triggered by the death of a young woman detained by security forces rose to nine.


The protests, led mostly by women, erupted in more than a dozen cities and at universities in Tehran following the death on Friday of Mahsa Amini, 22, who had been arrested three days earlier for allegedly breaking Iran’s strict hijab law.


Amini, who was from Iran's western Kurdistan province, fell into a coma after being arrested by morality police in Tehran.


For nearly a week, protesters have been chanting “death to the dictator” and burning their headscarves.

In a video taken in the north-east and posted on social media, protesters shouted "we will die, we will die but we'll get Iran back" near a police station that was set on fire. The video, on Twitter account 1500tasvir, was reported by Reuters but could not be verified.


The 1500tasvir account focuses on Iran protests and has about 100,000 followers.

In Tehran, another police station was set on fire as the unrest spread from Amini's home province.
