The September 1401 protests refer to a series of nationwide protests that began on September 26 following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa (Zhina) Amini as a result of actions by the morality police in Tehran, and by October 1, 1401 had spread to at least 85 cities and 18 universities across 29 provinces of the country. These ongoing protests have so far resulted in the arrest of hundreds of people and the death and injury of dozens of protesters, including children.
Media outlets close to security institutions have published forced confessions from a number of detainees by accusing them of acts of violence. Similarly, the Iranian government has disrupted internet service across the country in residential areas and mobile phones.
