Protests raged overnight in Iran as thousands turned out to mark 40 days since the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini who died in police custody on 16 September, sparking a wave of unrest.
Young women have since burned their headscarves and confronted security forces in a movement that shows little sign of abating,
Mourners marching to her grave chanted "woman, life, freedom" and "death to the dictator" and police are reported to have fired on protesters in Saqqez, Amini's home city.
Amini was arrested by Iran's notorious morality police for allegedly wearing her
hijab "improperly". I read elsewhere that two inches of her hair was exposed.

Both men and women reacting in a manner that few would have believed possible under a strictly Islamic regime. Will it abate - or will it escalate to other areas of the Muslim world?
