Why women in Iran are chopping off their hair, burning hijabs after the death of 22-year-old.
22 years old slipped into a coma and died while in police custody in Tehran. The 22-year-old, visiting the capital with her family, was detained after the ‘morality police’ took issue with her headscarf. Her death has led to widespread anger with Iranian women leading protests.The death of a 22-year-old has led to women across Iran posting videos of themselves on social media cutting their hair and burning their hijabs.
She slipped into a coma and died while in police custody in Tehran, state media reported on Friday.
She was detained earlier this week by the so-called morality police after officers apparently found fault with her headscarf, or hijab.
The headscarf has been compulsory for women in Iran since after the 1979 Islamic Revolution and members of the morality police enforce the strict dress code.
While police have claimed 22 year old suffered a heart attack, pro-reform news websites quoted an uncle of Amini as saying she had no history of heart disease.
