0:45Now PlayingDemonstrations continue to erupt across Iran weeks after 22-year-old Mahsa Amini's death inflamed most of the country.
RELATEDIranian women cut hair in protest to death of Mahsa Amini
More than a month into nationwide protests triggered by the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman who was in custody after being arrested by Iran's "morality police," authorities continue to violently crack down on anti-regime demonstrators.
Amini was allegedly detained and beaten to death for not conforming to Iran's strict Islamic dress code, which includes, for women, a head covering known as a hijab.
As the uprisings have spread to dozens of cities, the government has blocked internet connectivity in Iran. There have been mass arrests of students, journalists, activists, artists, sports figures and celebrities who have, at great personal risk, expressed a range of social, economic and political grievances with Iran's hard-line government.
