Mahsa Amini (Persian: مهسا ژینا امینی; 21 September 1999 – 16 September 2022), also known as Jina Amini (Kurdish: ژینا ئەمینی), was an Iranian Kurdish woman whose arrest in Tehran for opposing mandatory hijab and subsequent death in police custody sparked a wave of protests throughout Iran. People and governments around the world reacted widely to her death.[1][2][3][4][5] Her death sparked widespread protest in Iranian society,[6] resulting in major protests in various cities in Iran and acts of solidarity around the world.[7][8][9][10][11] Amini's death ignited the global Woman, Life, Freedom movement - "Woman, Life, Freedom", which demands the end of compulsory hijab laws and other forms of discrimination and oppression against women in Iran.[12][13] She and the movement were selected as candidates for the Sakharov Prize in 2023 by European Parliament[14][15] for defending freedom and human rights.[16][17][18]
