Reject the parents of Mahsa Amini the official forensic report, according to which the death of the 22-year-old who had been arrested by the moral police was not due to “beatings”.
The Iran continues to be rocked by protests following the death on 16 September of Mahsa Amini, the young Iranian-Kurdish woman who died three days after she was arrested in Tehran by morality police for what authorities say was a violation of the country’s strict dress code, which mainly obliges women to wear headscarves.
On October 7, the Iranian Association of Medical Examiners stated in its report that “the death of Mahsa Amini it was not caused by blows to the head and vital organs.” This is linked to “surgery for a brain tumor at the age of 8”, which he had undergone, according to the official medical examiner’s report, which was announced on state television.
“Her parents rejected this report in their appeal to the judicial authority,” their lawyer Saleh Nikbakht told Etemad newspaper.
The lawyers request “a review of the cause of her death” and for this purpose they call on the judiciary to “select five specialists (mainly a neurosurgeon and a cardiologist) from a list of five doctors drawn up by the parents of Makhsa Amini”, added the lawyer, as reported by the Athens News Agency.
The defense must be able to “secure clarifications on how the investigation was conducted and on the role of the person or persons involved in the arrest of Makhsa and her transfer to the headquarters of the morality police in order to be able to defend the rights of parents and dispel uncertainties about the cause of death,” the lawyer noted.
On September 19, Amzad Amini, the young woman’s father, told Fars news agency that his daughter was “in excellent health.”
At the end of September, Nikbacht said that Amini’s family had sued the police officers who arrested the young woman.
Dozens of people, mainly protesters, but also members of the security forces, have been killed in the demonstrations that have taken place in protest of the death of Makhsa Amini. Hundreds more, including women, have been arrested.
