Iran said on Wednesday it had issued a death sentence - its second in three days - over continuing protests regarding the death of Mahsa Amini in custody, as the latest violence left several protesters and members of the security forces dead.

Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian woman of Kurdish origin, died on 16 September in the custody of the notorious morality police after her arrest for an alleged breach of Iran's dress code for women.

Protests have now entered the third month and intensified overnight on the anniversary of a lethal 2019 crackdown.
