Protesters carry placards and banners during a rally calling for freedom in Iran in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia on 1 October 2022. Demonstrators rallied in Brisbane to call for freedoms in Iran, which comes amid international outcry and two weeks of protests in the country after the death of 22-year-old woman Mahsa Amini, who was arrested and beaten by members of the Iranian ‘morality police’ for not wearing hijab. Since protests began in the country two weeks ago, hundreds of people have been killed with several thousand arrested. The Iranian government has made attempts to curb communication by limiting internet and blocking several social media platforms.
