a year after Masha’s death, where is the protest?

In the streets of Tehran, Saturday September 16, a large police presence. The authorities are seeking to avoid any new uprising, one year after the death of Mascha Amini. She was the symbol of Iranian youth, arrested by the police morals for a poorly worn veil. It is unbearable for thousands of young women who are suffocating under the dictates of the Islamic authorities. So on social networks and in the streets, thousands of young women are removing their veils and cutting their hair.

Iranian women revealed

The response from the authorities was unstoppable with arrests and hangings. The Iranian regime has held on, but must deal with changes. 20 to 30% of women now dare to go out without their veil. “In trendy places […] 80% do not wear the veil”, assures a young woman, reached by telephone. These are incredible signs of resistance as the authorities have adapted their repression on the population.
