The Iranian diaspora in Washington DC commemorated the first anniversary of the murder of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in mid- September with two protests. While exiting a Tehran metro station, Amini was arrested by Iran's infamous "morality police" for wearing her hijab improperly. Her arrest and death while in police custody became the fuel for the massive nationwide "Women, Life, Freedom" movement. On Sept 14, a noontime demonstration was held outside the office of the Interests Section of the Islamic Republic of Iran (located inside a downtown office building). While office workers entered and exited the building, one protester read the names of those killed by the Iranian government for protesting, while others picketed the building's entrance carryings signs and posters with the victims' portraits, while chanting "Women, Life, Freedom."
