Please review the episode audio before quoting from this transcript and email transcripts@nytimes.com with any questions. From “The New York Times,” I’m Michael Barbaro. This is “The Daily.” Today, how the death of a young woman in Iran unleashed the pent-up fury of the entire country. My colleague, Farnaz Fassihi, has been reporting on the protests unfolding across Iran and the grievances of those who have taken to the streets. It’s Wednesday, September 28. Farnaz, tell us the story of Mahsa Amini and what exactly happened to her last week in Iran. Mahsa Amini was a 22-year-old Kurdish Iranian young woman who traveled from her hometown of Saqqez in the province of Kurdistan to the capital, Tehran, with her family. She was a youthful, beautiful young woman, full of life. She had just gotten a job at a shop in her hometown and was hoping to study to go to the university. And she’s a small-town girl coming to the capitol to visit relatives with her family. She gets in the subway with her brother, gets out of the subway station. And she encounters what’s known as the morality police. And what is that? The morality police is a force in Iran that polices what women wear because Iran has a law of mandatory hijab. Women have to cover their hair. They have to cover the curves of their body. And the government polices that with the morality police. And Mahsa was wearing a long, loose robe, black, long, loose, robe covering her body. She was wearing a black scarf over her head from the pictures that her family have provided. And from what you can see, she doesn’t appear in violation of the hijab law. But the morality police stop her and tell her that her job is not in line with the rules, and tell her that they want to take her to a detention center to give her a re-education class about the hijab. Mahsa and her brother resist. Her brother talks to them about how they’re strangers in the city. They don’t really know their way around. And they’re visitors. But they insist anyway and take mass away in a van, with other women, to a detention center in Tehran. If you’re a woman in Iran, chances are that you’ve been to this detention center, called [INAUDIBLE]. Even the name of [INAUDIBLE] sets panic and fear among Iranian women. I’m Iranian-American. I’ve lived in Iran. I’ve traveled to Iran. Even I’ve been taken to that same detention center because I was showing too much hair and my robe was too short. I had to pledge that I would never violate the hijab law ever again in order to be released. But the morality police apply these rules in an unpredictable way. Sometimes they give you a verbal notice. Sometimes they give you a financial fine. Sometimes they beat you up. These are not just stories. These are documented incidents. So [INAUDIBLE] is this place in Iranian women’s mind that is feared, a place where bad things can happen to you. So they take Mahsa to the detention center. The brother finds his way there and is standing outside with other parents and other family members of women who are in there. And they hear shouting and an argument. And soon after, an ambulance arrives and takes somebody out. And a woman comes out, distraught, and says something just happened to a young woman inside. Someone collapsed. And it turns out that woman was Mahsa. The ambulance takes Mahsa to the hospital. Her family find their way there. They’re told that she is in a coma.
