Majid Asgaripour/WANA via REUTERSDUBAI, Oct 8 - Female students in Tehran chanted "get lost", according to activists, as Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi visited their university campus on Saturday and condemned protesters enraged by the death of a young woman in custody.
An Iranian state coroner's report denied that Mahsa Amini had died due to blows to the head and limbs while in morality police custody and linked her death to pre-existing medical conditions, state media said on Friday. After a call for mass demonstrations on Saturday, security forces shot at protesters and used tear gas in the Kurdish cities of Sanandaj and Saqez, according to the Iranian human rights group Hengaw.
"Security forces are shooting at the protesters in Sanandaj and Saqez," the group said. It said riot police were also using tear gas.
