Golob said in a statement shared by the government on X that crackdown, intimidation and systematic oppression of women and human rights defenders continued in Iran.
The prime minister urged international community to "continue defending them and their just fight for freedom and better future".
Fajon also shared her statement on X, saying that the women and youth fighting for freedom, human rights, democracy and dignity were "our future". "May they stay strong," she added.
Amini was killed on this day a year ago at the age of 22 by the Iranian morality police for allegedly not wearing the hijab in accordance with government standards. Her death sparked wide-ranging anti-government protests.
