Iranian women are burning their headscarves and cutting off their hair in protest at the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini after her arrest by Tehran’s notorious morality police.
Videos posted on social media showed protesters setting fire to hijabs while chanting promises to “take revenge” for “our sister” Amini, who died in hospital on Friday after three days in a coma following her arrest during a visit to the capital.
To the world who still don’t know that in Iran #WalkingUnveiled is a punishable crime. Yes these
women who removed their hijab can get jailed, beaten & kicked out from job. But like the women's suffrage movement, Iranian women making history.#مهسا_امینی pic.twitter.com/pu3uUA1teM— Masih Alinejad 🏳️ (@AlinejadMasih) September 19, 2022
