It would not have been the blows to the head and body suffered by the police that caused the death of the 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, but a syndrome of multi-organ failure caused by cerebral hypoxia: a “natural” death, therefore, linked to a disease of the woman’s brain. This is what we learn from a medical report released by the Iranian forensic organization. According to the doctors interviewed by Tehran, her death did not come from the beating of the Iranian “moral police”, but from complications due to “surgery for a brain tumor at the age of 8”.
Since Mahsa Amini’s death on 16 September, a strong wave of protests has been generated throughout Iran, the repression of which has resulted in dozens of deaths. The woman was arrested for not wearing the veil correctly, and died in the hands of the authorities of the Iranian state. “The results of the physical examination of the body and the autopsy as well as the pathological tests indicate that the death was not caused by blows to the head or vital organs,” said the Iranian Organization of Forensic Medicine. Authorities claim that the young woman fainted “when she was in the custody of the religious police”, due to her illness which caused her “heart rhythm disturbance and a drop in blood pressure”.
According to the young woman’s family, the girl died from a violent blow to the head. In several states, demonstrations were held in memory of the girl and in defense of all Iranian women, with the gesture of cutting a lock of hair which has now become a symbol of defiance of the repression implemented by Tehran. The Iranian embassy in Rome has launched explicit intimidation, on Twitter, to anyone in Italy who joins similar initiatives. Citing a campaign launched in our country to send a lock of hair to the offices of the Iranian embassy in Rome, he wrote: “Very valuable data can be extracted and exploited from the DNA of the hair, they could represent a good database of Iran’s enemies. “.
