The protests have now spread to more than 20 cities, including the capital Tehran.
Demonstrators are taking out protest rallies in different cities against the incident, during which various roads are also being blocked along with burning.
It should be remembered that last week the police detained 22-year-old Mehsa Amini in Tehran for not wearing a headscarf. During the detention, the girl died of a heart attack.
