According to a medical report released on Friday by Iranian forensic experts, the death of young Mahsa Amini in custody was due to a brain disease rather than shock.

Iran’s medico-legal organization said in a report cited by state television that “Mahsa Amini’s death was not caused by blows to the head and vital organs” but was related to “surgery for a brain tumor at the age of 8.” ., reports Agerpres.

Forensic experts explain in the document that “on September 13 (Makhsa Amini) suddenly lost consciousness and then fainted.”

The young woman’s heart rhythm was disturbed and her blood pressure dropped. Despite her transfer to Kasra Hospital and the efforts of the medical staff, she died on September 16 as a result of multiple organ failure caused by cerebral hypoxia,” the Medical Examiner notes.

Mahsa Amini, 22, was arrested in the middle of last month for allegedly disobeying the Islamic Republic of Iran’s strict dress code regarding headgear. What happened to him after that is unclear.

Iranian authorities say the young woman fell into a coma and died in hospital on September 16. Critics say she was a victim of police brutality.

On September 19, her father, Amjad Amini, told the Fars news agency that his daughter was “in perfect health.”

After his death, hundreds of thousands of people demonstrated against the government in Iran. Eyewitnesses say that both security forces and protesters in the capital are becoming increasingly aggressive.
