Iranians at home and abroad marked the first anniversary Saturday of the death in police custody of Mahsa Amini, with activists speaking of a renewed crackdown to prevent any resurgence of the protests which rocked major cities last year

Many of the world's female foreign ministers will discuss the "brutal" crackdown against protesters in Iran during a virtual meeting this week hosted by Canada, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said in a statement on Wednesday.

We in the West have no right to treat Iran as a country that is desperately trying to catch up with us.

Despite knowing that they may be arrested, beaten, or killed the way 22-year-old Mahsa Amini was killed by the Morality Police on September 16, Iran's women are protesting valiantly.
