Rock singer, Matin 2 Hanjare, Detained By Iranian Officials

The action comes almost a year after the September 16 death in custody of Iranian Kurd Mahsa Amini, 22, triggered months of protests around the country.

Amini had been detained for an alleged breach of the Islamic Republic’s strict dress code requiring that a woman’s head and neck be covered.Yarrahi was defiant after the announcement of the legal case. “Don’t cry, I am the nightmare of this judge,” he said in a message posted on X, formerly Twitter, adding: “Let’s continuously talk about the anniversary of Mahsa Amini’s murder.” Authorities have contested accusations by Amini’s family that she died from beating.
