Australia has condemned the “deadly and disproportionate use of force” by authorities in Iran against protesters who have flooded the streets across the country following the death in custody of 22-year-old woman Mahsa Amini who was arrested by Iran’s morality police for allegedly wearing her hijab incorrectly.
Women are required to wear a hijab from the age of nine in Iran after the Islamist regime implemented the law in 1983, reports RFERL. However, the rule is a contentious one, which has seen consistent pushback over the 43-year rule of the Islamic regime.
