Earlier in September, the modesty police murdered a young woman named Mahsa Amini who was visiting Tehran.
She was initially arrested on the grounds that she had violated modesty regulations, and was later taken to the hospital in serious condition.
Amini was in a state of coma before her condition deteriorated and the doctors had to pronounce her dead.
