Islamic regime of Iran has disrupted the Internet on Saturday in Saqqez, restricting people’s ability to share videos and information on ongoing anti-regime protests.

Local reports also said Tehran cut off Internet on mobile phones in the city. Videos of protesters being wounded by security forces in Saqqez went viral on Saturday morning

The protest started as Mahsa Amini passed away in Iran’s Kasra Hospital after being arrested by Morality Police for her alleged “improper hijab” and being taken to Vozara detention center.

The 22-years-old Kurdish woman was killed by Morality Police while in custody in Tehran.

Originally from Saqqez, Kurdistan Province, Amini was visiting Tehran with her family when she was arrested.
