Iran Protests Continue for 16th Day; Group Says 133 People Have Died So Far
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunday marked the 16th day of consecutive protests in Iran following the
death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman who died after she was
detained by the so-called morality police for allegedly violating Iran's
hijab law. According to the Norway-based group Iran Human Rights, 133
people have been killed since the protests began. On Sunday, police
fired tear gas and paintballs at student protesters in Tehran.
Meanwhile, the Committee to Protect Journalists reports at least 28
journalists and photographers have been arrested covering the protests.
