Norway: Dozens detained following tense demonstration at Iranian Embassy

 Police reported two injuries and made 90 arrests at the embassy. In an act of protest over Mahsa Amini's death, participants tried to break into the embassy and threw rocks at police.


Following violent altercations outside the Iranian Embassy, police in Oslo, the capital of Norway, detained 90 individuals on Thursday. The commotion resulted in minor injuries for two people.


Several hundred people gathered outside the embassy to protest Mahsa Amini's death, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman who was arrested by Tehran's morality police for not donning a hijab and eventually passed away in detention. This is when the incident happened.


Outside the embassy, a few people covered themselves in the Kurdish flag. "Woman, Life, Freedom!" and "Long Live Kurdistan!" were yelled by protesters. Who arranged the event remains unknown.



Police use tear gas.

According to the police, a number of the demonstrators were acting aggressively and violently while trying to access the structure. Others assaulted the cops with sticks or flung objects at them.


Authorities claim that after sending out a sizable detachment of officers to the scene, they were able to immediately "under control" the commotion. Police allegedly sprayed tear gas on demonstrators after they were attacked, according to witnesses.


A Kurdish hamlet in northern Iraq was shelled by Iranian forces the day before the clash. According to Iranian police, they attacked armed separatists who were inciting unrest in Tehran.

There have been 12 nights of protests in Iran. As a result of Mahsa Amini's death on September 16, these protests that initially started in Tehran have subsequently extended to other cities and changed to become firmly focused on the country's stringent Islamist system as a whole.


More than 70 individuals have died as a result of the security and law enforcement crackdown in Iran.
