She was arrested, tortured and imprisoned, Her crime--protesting wearing the mandatory hijab! This is a picture of the courageous Sepideh Rashno. By publishing this picture without the hijab, she wrote that she was banned from attending university. Sepideh said, "We are standing. The only thing more beautiful than freedom itself is standing for "freedom".

Iranian authorities are after these girls to arrest them for the crime of dancing in international women’s day.
In the eyes of Islamic republic, these girls are master criminals for showing their hair, happiness and dancing. That is why school girls are being the target of chemical attacks. Be our voice and Let’s end gender apartheid regime together.
