Iran protest

    Protests in Iran have been happening for two weeks now. Woman across their country go out to the streets to protest against the obligation to wear hijab. The government ruthlessly tries to silence the protests, they use brutal force against the protesting women. Dozens of them have been killed and arrested. The protests were sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22 year old Kurdish woman, after her arrest by the police. While women fight for their rights, most men just sit and watch. Women do not know whether will they come back home from the protest alive or not. The information about the protest have been spread out across the world, and dozen of foreign celebrities tweet and hashtag their support. The women are ready to fight against their government, with the knowledge they can die doing it.
