DUBAI (Reuters) - Iranian security forces opened fire at people who gathered at a cemetery in Mahsa Amini's home town of Saqez on Wednesday to mark 40 days since she died in police custody, a witness told Reuters.
"The riot police shot mourners who gathered at the cemetery for Mahsa's memorial ceremony ... dozens have been arrested," the witness said.
Demonstrations ignited by the 22-year-old's death on Sept. 16 have become one of the boldest challenges to the Islamic Republic's clerical leadership since the 1979 revolution.
