Major protests are under way in Iran in the last six days due to the death of 22-year-old Iranian Mahsa Amina.
The death toll in protests has reportedly reached 31 so far.
Amina died in custody after being arrested last week by police for disobeying the hijab rule. Witnesses claim that the police took him in a vehicle and beat him.
Protesters in Tehran and other Iranian cities set fire to police stations and vehicles earlier Thursday, and protests show no signs of domestication. During the protests, women are setting fire to their headscarves as a sign of opposition to their mandatory observance.
