On Saturday, President Ebrahim Raisi said Iran must “deal decisively with those who oppose the country’s security and tranquility.”
On Sept. 13, Iran’s morality police arrested a 22-year-old woman in Tehran for allegedly wearing her hijab too loosely in public, a violation of the country’s dress code. Mahsa Amini was beaten in detention, her family says, and died three days after falling into a coma.
In footage shared on social media, women are taking to the streets and removing their headscarves in defiance of the oppressive law. Some dropped their veils into a bonfire, others flouted the law by cutting their hair. Raisi “stressed the necessity to distinguish between protest and disturbing public order and security, and called the events... a riot,” state media reported.
