The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a motion to support women’s rights in Iran and Iranian protesters abroad as well as within the county in a 5–0 vote Oct. 18.

The move comes after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini last month at the hands of Iranian morality police for improperly wearing a hijab.
