Protesters gather in Sulaimaniyah on Sept. 28, 2022, to protest the killing of Mahsa Amini, an Iranian Kurdish woman, after she was arrested in Tehran by morality police for wearing her headscarf improperly. Iran has accused Kurdish opposition groups in exile of orchestrating the wave of protests across the country over the past two weeks. But Kurdish activists say the government is just trying to scapegoat them to distract from the domestic anger fueling the unrest. (AP Photo/Hawre Khalid, Metrography)
