They accused her of breaking the law requiring women to cover their hair with a headscarf, and their arms and legs with loose clothing.

Police say she died of a heart attack and deny that she was mistreated. They also chanted against the police and damaged a police vehicle. The Associated Press could not independently verify the authenticity of the footage. The witnesses spoke on condition of anonymity out of security concerns.
