As pro-regime accounts are trying to paint her as a mentally ill person, it’s time to make it clear: the very idea that religious totalitarianism - itself a kind of insanity - judges her as mentally ill is all you need to know. The way women have been treated in Iran for the last 45 years this protest is a beacon of courage and sanity. Make no mistake: those on here calling this an act of mental illness are paid shills of rather rich terrorists and will end up on the dustheap of history ⬇️

The video is remarkable. A student is told to fix her hijab and then in protest she took off her clothes. The girls watching from the window are aghast and even comment that she has a nice body but can’t believe what she’s doing. Sadly, it doesn’t end well put another reminder of what women and girls and Iran are up against.
#BREAKING: This happened in Amir-Kabir university of #Tehran. A brave student refused to cover her hair as a protest to barbaric compulsory Hijab laws of #Iran's Regime. As the security forces attacked her, she removed her dress. Sadly, she was severely beaten by the Intelligence service minutes after this video was recorded and she was dragged into an unmarked van with a broken head while was bleeding.

I do not understand why what is going on in Afghanistan is not bigger news. Women now banned from “hearing other women’s voices” independent.co.uk/asia/south…

Afghan women are responding to the Taliban’s restrictions by dancing in traditional attire, a powerful expression of their identity and defiance against oppression.
Unfathomable dystopia .
The photographs in this show are beautiful sensitive and tell a tale of an interesting part of our social history
Come along to @thehiveipswich

In Iran, the real criminals make the laws.
Today marks the anniversary of the Isfahan acid attacks on these women, whose “crime” was wearing an improper hijab. Ten years later, the attackers walk free, because why arrest yourself when you hold power? Meanwhile, those who dared to protest, like Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi, remain behind bars.
During this past 10 years, I’ve watched countless powerful female politicians from the West visit my country, only to submit to compulsory hijab in the name of “respecting Iranian culture.” Show them these pictures and remind them: hijab was never part of our culture. Forced hijab is the culture of ISIS, the Taliban, and the Islamic Republic.

Well done Joel from @aceanglia - who made a whole collection of interviews at the #suffolkpeoplefirst event, we are playing out all week on @LouiseOnAir show on @BBCSuffolk - it’s good to give full platform to this & hear about what support is available in the county for adults.
