Reactions to the Mahsa Amini protests

The ongoing Mahsa Amini protests broke out following the death of Mahsa Amini while she was under arrest by the Guidance Patrol of the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Reactions to her death and the following crackdown on protestors by law enforcement are both domestic and international.

According to the BBC, as of November 2022, Western grassroots public opinion is strongly on the side of the protestors.

Many international NGOs have explicitly condemned Iran's government for the violent crackdown, but the United Nations has declined to follow suit, instead limiting itself to statements of concern.
