Iran, fewer than 300 people died at the 2022 Mahsa protests. The figure is significantly lower than that provided by the United Nations earlier this month which based on "credible data" reported "as many as 551 protesters killed by security forces, including at least 49 women" The Iranian report attributes most of the civilian deaths to "rioters" and says the remainder are involved in "terrorist acts or attacks" Amini, 22, was an Iranian Kurdish woman who died three days after she was arrested for allegedly violating the Iranian dress code that requires women to wear the veil.
