The Iranian woman was seen taking off her clothes in protest and jumping onto a police car in Mashhad city, Iran. Her daring act has sparked mixed reactions, with some questioning her mental health, while others support her, seeing it as part of a larger movement where women in Iran are challenging the strict dress code enforced by the morality police.
In a shocking CCTV video that went viral on social media, a woman is seen taking off her clothes in protest and jumping onto a police car in Mashhad city, Iran. The video shows her yelling at armed officers while standing on the car’s hood in a busy street.
Even though officers try to get her down, she denied to move. At one point, an officer reaches into the car, apparently to grab a weapon.
The male police officer who was armed with an automated weapon appears to hesitate to detain her due to her nakedness, as reported by Euronews.
According to the social media reports, the woman was protesting Iran’s harsh clothing laws for women. Her bold protest has received mixed reactions, with some people questioning her mental health, while others are praising her and seeing it as part of a larger movement in Iran, where women are resisting the strict dress code enforced by the morality police.
The mandatory hijab law requiring women to wear a hijab, covering their hair and body in public, has been a point of disagreement for many years. Women can face harsh punishments, such as fines and prison sentences, if they don’t follow this strict dress code.
Earlier, an Iranian singer faced legal action for breaking the country’s strict dress code by performing an online concert without wearing a hijab. The live-streamed event, held at a historic caravanserai and broadcast on YouTube, was highly criticized by authorities for not having proper approval and for going against Iran’s legal and cultural rules.
