It is reported that the family of Kurdish woman Mahsa (Jina) Amini, who was murdered by the morality police in Tehran, has been placed under house arrest.

According to Al Arabiya, Iranian authorities have placed Amini’s family members under house arrest in Seqiz. Speaking to The National media outlet, which reports on the Middle East, family member Irfan Murtazayi confirmed the house arrest.

Murtazayi, who resides in South Kurdistan, stated that Amini’s parents and brother have been under house arrest since Wednesday.

On Wednesday, despite threats from government forces, thousands of people commemorated Amini at her grave 40 days after her murder. Iranian state forces also threatened to arrest Amini’s brother.

“Jina and thousands like her have sacrificed their lives so that the Iranian people can live freely. I hope that the Iranian people will stay on the streets until they reach their goals,” Murtazayi said.
