According to a state autopsy report, Mahsa Amini died not as a result of police violence, but of heart failure. Her death has sparked nationwide protests in Iran.
The State Institute of Forensic Medicine has ruled out police violence in connection with the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini. According to the news portal Misan, the report on Amini’s death published on Friday stated that the Iranian Kurd had suffered from a thyroid disease since childhood.
The investigations are said to have shown that the previous illness after her arrest led to heart failure – which led to her death. Police violence is ruled out because no traces of a blow to the head were found on the body.
Amini’s parents have repeatedly denied previous illnesses
Amini’s parents had repeatedly denied their daughter’s previous illness in the past few weeks. She was perfectly healthy until her arrest by the vice squad and all claims to the contrary were false, the family said. The Iranian judiciary, in turn, accuses the Amini family of disregarding the laws in the country and wanting to use the case of their daughter to create political sentiment against the Iranian system.
The moral police arrested Amini in September because of her “un-Islamic outfit”. She fell into a coma and died in hospital on September 16. The police deny using violence. The death of the 22-year-old had triggered nationwide protests against the headscarf requirement and the Islamic leadership. Security forces also used violence against demonstrators, killing dozens of people.
