Allegedly, Mahsa Amini wasn't wearing her headscarf in the proper way, which prompted the "morality police" to arrest her and beat her. Sadly, she died a few days later on September 16 from a fatal blow to the head. Many women took to the streets to demonstrate and protest her senseless death, ripping off their hijab headscarves and burning them in bonfires.
