A protester has died after he was reportedly thrown from a building by Iranian security agents who stormed his home.
Cafe owner Hossein Al-e Ali, 31, reportedly fell into a coma after being thrown out of a window by the security forces.
The protester – reportedly involved in the anti-hijab protests rocking the country – died in hospital a week later, on Tuesday, 21st March, according to independent Iranian media.
He spent the last two months hiding from security forces, according to his relatives.
Iranian forces have been cracking down on waves of civil disorder following the death of Mahsa Amini, 22, from Saqqez, Kurdistan Province.
She was on a visit to Tehran when she was arrested by morality police, accused of violating hijab rules on 13th September 2022.
She was allegedly beaten while in custody and spent the following days in a coma in the hospital before succumbing in the ICU on 16th September.
The clinic where she was treated said in a now-deleted social media post that she had been admitted brain-dead.
Alleged medical scans of her skull leaked by hackers showed that she had suffered bone fractures, haemorrhages, and brain oedema.
Independent Iranian media have claimed that Mahsa’s medical records showing a history of heart disease that officials gave as the cause of death were faked by the Iranian government.
Numbers differ regarding how many people have been killed since the protests began.
The ongoing protests in Iran have killed over 500 people, according to independent estimates.
It is also understood that over 20,000 people have been arrested.
