22-year-old girl gets killed in Iran for not wearing her headscarf properly
It was on 13 September 2022 when a Kurdish girl from Iran, Mahsa Amini, was traveling to the country's capital Tehran with her family. During her visit, she was arrested by the infamous morality police of Iran. They arrested her because they believed that her headscarf was not appropriate. Even though she was wearing a headscarf, they believed that her dress was not modest enough.
