Taipei, Dec. 15 (CNA) A Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) official called on the Iranian government on Thursday to stop its suppression of protests which were held after an Iranian woman died in custody after being arrested and respond positively to their people's demand for more women's rights.Nationwide demonstrations broke out in Iran after Mahsa Amini died in custody September after allegedly being beaten by morality police, following her arrest for not fully covering her face with a hijab in accordance with the Islamic Republic's mandatory hijab policy.Mizan, an Iranian newspaper, reported that a protester who allegedly killed two security force members was hung from a construction crane in public by Iran's government, a move which has incurred a warning from the Amnesty International."The Iranian authorities are seeking the death penalty for at least 21 people in sham trials by Revolutionary Courts designed to further repress the popular uprising that has rocked Iran since September 2022 and to instill fear among the public," said Amnesty International on its website.More than 10,000 protesters have been arrested while nearly 500 have died at the hands of government security forces, Ho said."
