Protests in Iran continue after the death of a 22-year-old Kurdish woman in custody of the so-called morality police. Mahsa Amini died last week after being detained for allegedly leaving some of her hair visible in violation of an Iranian law requiring women to cover their heads. Witnesses said Amini was severely beaten by police, but authorities claim she died of natural causes.
For the same reason we’re against hijab bans, we are against hijab enforcement. How much or how little a woman wears does not justify violence or discrimination against her. We support the freedom of the people of Iran against religious oppression.
