A candlelight vigil was held in West Hollywood Park in Amini's honor.
In an interview prior to the vigil, Mazarei called what happened to Amini"inexplicable ... unfathomable."She added:"That a 22-year-old young woman, a perfectly healthy young woman gets beaten up so badly that she spends three days in a coma and then passes away, and all of this for not covering every single strand of hair on her head ... Enough is enough, is what people are saying in Iran.
Mazarei noted that there have been a number of uprisings in recent years against the government,"but there is a different tone and mood with this uprising."Updated September 30, 2022 at 7:15 AM PDT
