According to witnesses, Amini was beaten by police following her arrest, which lead to her death.
Tawny Mazarei, the board president of the Iranian American Women's Foundation, called the recent events"an incredibly emotional and traumatic time."
"What happened to Mahsa Amini is inexplicable, is unfathomable, that a 22-year-old young woman, a perfectly healthy young woman gets beaten up so badly that she spends three days in coma and then passes away," she said."And all of this for not covering every single strand of hair on her head ... Enough is enough, is what people are saying in Iran."
