The forensic organization has indicated that Amini underwent, at the age of eight, the removal of a brain tumor in an operation whose aftermath caused, according to the autopsy conclusions, the fainting of the 22-year-old when She was in the custody of the Islamic Republic’s Moral Police for improperly wearing the veil.

The forensic version estimates that the deceased “suddenly lost consciousness due to this underlying disease, which caused a heart rhythm disorder and a drop in blood pressure.”
