Violent Protests By Women Against The Hijab In Iran

Widespread anti-government protests have spread to around 80 cities in Iran following the death in police custody of a 22-year-old Kurdish woman protesting the hijab. Protests are also taking place in many other countries of the world on this issue. Hadif Nafasi, a girl who became a symbol of anti-hijab protest, was shot dead by the police. The woman became the face of protests on social media after she protested by baring her hair in public. In his wake, a number of young women protested by uncovering their hair, cutting their hair and setting the Ijab on fire.

Iranian police arrested a woman for violating strict hijab laws. After Mahsa Amini's death, hundreds of protesters took to the streets chanting anti-government slogans aimed at the Islamic regime and the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khomeini. Khamenei also ordered strict action against the protesters.

Iranian state television said the death toll in violent clashes with security forces had risen to 38. The unrest is the most widespread in recent years, spreading to nearly 80 cities in Iran. In Mashhad, Kuchan, Shiraz, Tabriz and Karaj, at least five security personnel were killed and several others injured during the attempt to control the protesters.

Amini's death has fueled long-standing resentment in the Islamic nation over restrictions on personal freedoms. Some protesting women have burned their hijabs in the streets in recent days, seen as an unprecedented act of defiance. Protesters burned posters of the Supreme Leader in several cities, including the religious city council and Isfahan. Demonstrators tore down and burned posters of Revolutionary Guard commander Qassem Soleimani. It is worth mentioning that according to Iranian law, all women must cover their heads with cloth and wear loose clothing in public places.

This rule has been in force since the Islamic Revolution of 1979. It applies to every woman in the country. Amini, a resident of the northwestern city of Sakage, died on September 16 after three days in a coma. She was with her brother in Tehran when she was arrested by the military police. She fell into a coma shortly after falling into a detention center.
