She also bothers them dead… Vandals attacked her grave Mahsa Amini, of the young woman whose death following her arrest last September sparked anti-establishment protests across Iran.

Photos from her family show the glass covering the tombstone with her portrait at Aichi Cemetery in the western city of Saqqez broken.

Mahsa’s brother Amini reported on Instagram that it was the second attack on her grave in recent months. “Even the tombstone glass you are bothering them,” Askan Amini wrote addressing his dead sister, without accusing anyone directly.

“No matter how many times they break itwe will fix it, let’s see who gets tired first” he pledged.

The family’s lawyer, Saleh Nirbakht, said in an audio message that the tomb was vandalized on Sunday by people “known for such despicable actions in the past.” He even stated that Maksha’s father had told him that the authorities prevented the installation of a protective dome over the grave by threatening a local welder that his business would be closed if he carried out the work.

The 22-year-old died in a Tehran hospital on September 16, three days after she was arrested by morality police in the capital for allegedly violating Iran’s strict rules requiring women to cover their hair with a hijab or headscarf. Witnesses said the 22-year-old, of Kurdish origin, was beaten while in custody, but authorities denied any ill-treatment, attributing her death to “sudden heart failure”. Hundreds of people have lost their lives in the anti-regime protests.
