PARIS: Protests flared again in Iran on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) over the death of a woman in morality police custody despite a crackdown by security forces in which at least 41 people have died, according to official figures.

The main reformist party inside Iran called for the repeal of the mandatory Islamic dress code that Mahsa Amini had been accused of breaching as the protests over her death entered their ninth night.
