Authorities in the French capital have renamed a garden after a young Iranian woman whose death in police custody in September last year sparked months-long anti-government protests.
“In tribute to this Iranian Kurdish student who died at the age of 22 after being arrested by police for having worn her hijab improperly, the Jardin Villemin [garden] was renamed “Jardin Villemin – Mahsa Jîna Amini,” the town hall of Paris’s 10th district said on its Twitter account on 23 May 2023.
Anger over Amini’s death in Tehran prompted Iranians to take to the streets nationwide to demand fundamental economic, social and political changes.
