Iranian people and women defy a repressive and illegitimate regime
The Iranian regime stepped up its crackdown on women over the past month under the pretext of Hijab. In parallel repressive measures, security forces canceled women’s concerts. They arrested women for dancing in the streets and posting photos without covering their heads on social media.
Under the repressive rule of the mullahs, women knew that they would be arrested for dancing in the streets. Nevertheless, they took the risk and did so. The news shows a nation’s rebellion fed up with the mullahs’ oppressive and illegitimate rule.
