This is the last thing the Iranian authorities need because of the continuing bad publicity in Iran, the country's economic crises, Tehran's continual tension with Israel and the "hiccup" talks over the nuclear deal that seems to be going nowhere with the United States and the Europeans.
It is being reported that #Mahsa_Amini has died. Once again an Iranian dies following arrest by Iran’s regime security forces.

Her family can't believe she died just like that. Relatives say they are in double shock at her arrest and final death. and they were exposed to intense pressure and threats from security institutions regarding their communication with the media.
