Students clash with security forces at a top Tehran university amid the unrest sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, who died in the custody of Iran's morality police

Demonstrators hold up a placard with an image of Mahsa Amini near Berlin's landmark Brandenburg Gate as protests against her death spread beyond Iran's borders.

Public anger has flared since authorities announced on September 16 the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who had been held for allegedly wearing a hijab headscarf in an improper way. "Woman, life, liberty," students shouted, as well as "students prefer death to humiliation", the Iranian Mehr news agency reported, adding that the country's science minister later came to speak to the students in an effort to calm the situation.

"Security forces have attacked Sharif University in Tehran tonight. Shooting can be heard," IHR said in a Twitter message on Sunday.
