More than 800 members of Iran’s Medical Council have accused the head of the organization of helping the government "cover up" the cause of Mahsa Amini's death while in police custody.
Protests spread across Iran after Mahsa Amini, 22, dies in custody following her detention by Iran's "morality police" over compulsory wearing of hijab.
The top medical official in the southern province of Hormozgan has rejected some Iranian officials' claims that Mahsa Amini, a young woman who died after apparently being beaten by morality police, suffered a heart attack, saying the most likely cause of her death was a blow to the head.
