Thousands of people line the highway to the burial site of Mahsa Amini in western Iran, marking 40 days since the death of the 22-year-old in custody, on October 26, 2022. The convoy of bikes, cars and pedestrians traveled toward the Aichi cemetery near Saqez, in Kurdistan province in the northwest. Many were cheering or clapping as they walked along the road. Activists had called for protests across the country to mark 40 days since Amini died after being detained for "inappropriate attire." Demonstrations ignited by the 22-year-old's death have become one of the boldest challenges to the Iranian government since the 1979 revolution.
