Woman in Noida chops off hair in solidarity with Anti-Hijab protests in Iran

 Mahsa Amini, 22, died while being held in detention in Tehran on September 16, prompting a number of protests in Iran and other nations. An increasing number of women are showing their support for the anti-hijab demonstrations in Iran, and one woman from Noida, Uttar Pradesh, has joined them.

Dr. Anupama Bhardwaj, a resident of Sector 15A in Noida, can be seen in a video chopping her hair in support of Iranian women protestors.

Recall that Mahsa Amini was killed while being imprisoned against her will by morality police who were "enforcing draconian hijab laws" in Iran. Amini was a Kurdish woman from the Kurdistan area of the country who was in Tehran. The "Gasht-e-Ashab," the morality police, detained her on the grounds that she was "immodestly clad."

Iranian women have started burning their hijabs and shaving their heads in public to raise attention to the restrictive laws in their country. They are calling for an end to the three-decade tyranny of the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei while chanting "Death to the Dictator."

A Turkish musician named Melek Mosso had earlier joined the demonstrations by having her hair cut live in front of the audience. A number of French artists have likewise advocated for Iranian women.

Global superstar Priyanka Chopra also endorsed the anti-hijab demonstrations and wrote a lengthy letter to her followers about the incident. Mahsa Amini, whose young life was brutally taken away by the Iranian Morality Police for wearing her hijab "improperly," stated, "women in Iran and around the world are standing up and raising their voices, openly cutting their hair and many other acts of protest."

Mandana Karimi, an actor of Iranian descent, previously shared a 17-minute Instagram video in which she could be seen at Mumbai's bandstand performing a lone protest in support of the significant protests in Iran.

Social media videos showed demonstrators calling for the overthrow of the religious establishment as the number of fatalities rose and police officers attacked them with tear gas and, in some cases, live ammunition.
