On Thursday, Tehran police said that Amini had suffered a “heart attack” following her arrest on Tuesday. “The woman was sent to a Greater Tehran police precinct for guidance and education when suddenly, in the presence of other people, she had a heart attack,” the police said. Amini’s family have questioned the version of events given by police, saying she was a normal, healthy 22-year-old with no pre-existing heart conditions. “There were only two hours between her arrest and being taken to hospital,” Kiarash told IranWire.
