Edmonton Marks One Year Since Mahsa Amini's Passing
EDMONTON, CANADA - SEPTEMBER 16, 2023:
Members of the Iranian diaspora and supporters gather in Churchill Square to remember Jina Mahsa Amini, one year after her tragic death in detention, on September 16, 2023, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Amini's 2022 death, stemming from her arrest due to hijab-related issues, ignited worldwide protests advocating for women's rights and demanding an end to Iran's long-standing Islamic theocracy. In response to these calls for change, Iran resorted to a brutal crackdown, resulting in hundreds of casualties and the detention of thousands, with accusations of torture during the subsequent legal proceedings drawing international condemnation.
