The death of a 22-year-old woman in the custody of Iran's "morality police" after being accused of not properly covering her hair has sparked a remarkable moment of defiance by Iranian women and men, experts say.
Thousands of protesters across the country have taken to the streets to demand justice for Mahsa Amini. Women have burned their scarves and cut their hair, protesters have been injured and arrested, and as many as 17 people have been killed. Despite the violent crackdown from Iranian security forces, demonstrations have continued in at least 13 cities for days.

I live in China. We Chinese have some freedom that Iranians 🇮🇷 don’t
such as:
– free to daily Covid test,
– rights to remain silent during lockdowns, and
– freedom to praise the government as much as we like.
The first democratically elected government overthrown by the CIA was Iran. (CIA Operation Ajax 1953)
She was a Insurrectionist.
