Iran's Anti-Islamic Revolution: Brave Iranian Women Publicly Burn Hijabs & Cut off Their Hair
☪ Iranian Women Burn Headscarves in Anti-Hijab Protests
Female protesters have been at the forefront of escalating protests in Iran
Women in Iran have been burning hijabs (headscarves) in protest of the death in custody of a woman who was detained by morality police for breaking hijab laws.
Protests broke out in western Iran on Saturday at the funeral of the young woman, Mahsa Amini, who died in hospital on Friday after spending three days in a coma.
Demonstrations have continued for five successive nights, and reached several towns and cities.
A large volume of people were seen cheering as women set their hijabs alight in defiant acts of protest in Tehran's Sari.
Videos posted on social media showed protesters shouting anti-government slogans after gathering in Saqez, hometown of Mahsa. They came from nearby cities in Iran's Kurdistan province to mourn the 22-year-old.
"Death to the dictator" - a reference to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, chanted the crowd, while some women took off their headscarves.
Police were seen firing tear gas and one man was shown on a video with an injury to the head that someone could be heard saying was caused by birdshot. Reuters could not authenticate the videos.
Protests spread to the provincial capital, Sanandaj and continued late into the night. Social media videos showed crowds chanting "Saqez is not alone, it's supported by Sanandaj". Marchers were seen confronting riot police amid the sound of sporadic gunfire. Other posted videos showed youths setting fire to tyres and throwing rocks at riot police across clouds of tear gas.
In recent months, rights activists have urged women to publicly remove their veils, a gesture that would risk their arrest for defying the Islamic dress code as the country's hardline rulers crack down on "immoral behaviour".
Videos posted on social media have shown cases of what appeared to be heavy-handed action by morality police units against women who had removed their hijab.
💭 My Note: Iran alongside the UAE, Turkey and China deliver drones the fascist and genocidal Oromo regime of Ethiopia.
Well, ✞The Ark of The Covenant is Transmitting a signal on a path to the EAST and to the WEST. Japan, China, Europe, America, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Iran and Arabia, STOP supporting the fascist Oromo regime of evil Abiy Ahmed Ali in Ethiopia. This brutal regime has massacred and starved to death over a million Ethiopian Christians of Tigray in under two years.
