This new footage shows Mahsa Amini dancing and being happy before her death.

In the footage, the young woman can be seen dancing to Iranian music in what looks to be the family home.

The footage was shared on YouTube on 22nd October and also in media including the Iranian-language version of the Voice of America (VOA), a state-owned international radio broadcaster.

VOA said the images show “Mahsa Amini’s dancing and happiness at a party”.

Mahsa, 22, from Saqqez, Kurdistan Province, was on a visit to Tehran when she was arrested by morality police accused of violating hijab rules on 13th September.

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.

Anti-regime media are claiming that Mahsa’s medical records showing her history of heart disease were faked by the Iranian government.

The protests her death sparked are ongoing and, according to the non-profit Iran Human Rights, at least 201 people, including 28 children, have been killed so far, according to its latest figures released on 12th October.
