Iran’s Legal Medicine Organization
Released a report in October 2022 absolving the authorities of responsibility for Mahsa Amini's death, claiming "[Amini's] death was not caused by blows to the head or any other vital organs and parts of the body," but was due to an "underlying disease".1 The Organization's head reportedly told Amini's father, "I’ll write whatever I want, whatever serves the country’s interests (about the cause of Mahsa’s death), and it’s none of your business".2 The Iranian human rights organization Hengaw said, however, that the Legal Medicine Organization is not independent and that its statements in cases that are politically sensitive are supervised by the authorities. Consequently, Hengaw said, "The assessment issued by this organization in Mahsa Amini’s case is devoid of any credibility and legal proof”.3
