Hundreds of protesters poured into the streets of a northwestern Iranian city on Wednesday to mark the watershed 40 days since the death in custody of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, whose tragedy sparked Iran's biggest anti-government movement in over a decade. An eyewitness told Reuters news agency that Iranian security forces opened fire at mourners who gathered in Amini's Kurdish home town of Saqqez.
