Mahsa Amini, 22, died last week following her arrest by Iran's morality police for "unsuitable attire" after she allegedly wore her hijab too loosely. Her death has unleashed a nationwide flood of protests over human rights, security and an economy reeling from international sanctions.

Plus we hear from Dr Sanam Vakil, Middle East expert at the Chatham House think tank and Shadi Sadr, Iranian lawyer and human rights advocate about the protests and the impact they could have in Iran.
