Iran orders probe into police brutality after protester beating caught on video

Iran’s police force said it will investigate a video posted on social media on November 2, 2022, showing officers beating and shooting an anti-government protester. Iran is now in its seventh week of protests, which was initially sparked by the death in custody of the Iranian woman Mahsa Amini. Worldwide demonstrations have evolved into one of the boldest challenges yet to Iran’s ruling clerics since the 1979 revolution.
