Two men were killed in Iran on Monday during protests over the death of a young woman while she was in the custody of the morality police, a Kurdish rights group said, as demonstrations ignited by the incident went on for a third day, SİA reports citing Reuters.
Mahsa Amini, 22, fell into a coma and died following her arrest in Tehran last week by morality police enforcing strict hijab rules, sparking demonstrations in numerous areas, including the Kurdish region from where she came, Tehran and other cities.
The Hengaw rights group said the two men were killed in the town of Divandarreh, part of the Kurdish region of Iran where protests have been the most intense.
here was no official confirmation of the deaths. State TV said a number of protesters had been arrested, but rejected "some claims of deaths on social media" by showing two injured youths who denied reports they had been killed. Their names were different than those in Hengaw's report.
