Political and cultural figures from all sides salute the “courage” of this student seen, on videos that have gone viral, in her underwear to defy the moral police.
As his image travels around the world, reactions abound, saluting his courage. The Iranian student who walked in her underwear in front of her university in Tehran as a sign of protest against the moral police, arouses admiration on both the left and the right of the French political landscape this Sunday. The president of the National Rally (RN) Jordan Bardella greeted his “unbelievable courage”judging that this gesture was “also a lesson for certain Western leaders, whose compromises and retreats in the face of Islamism put women in existential danger”.
“Until when will this atrocious Islamic dictatorship be able to continue torturing?”Senator LR Valérie Boyer was indignant in turn, when Horizons MEP Nathalie Loiseau reposted a drawing showing the Iranian woman breaking a wall in the colors of the Islamic Republic of Iran: “I admire his courage. But I also measure his despair”wrote the former French minister.
“Our body belongs to us”
On the left, the socialist mayor of Saint-Ouen Karim Bouamrane expressed his “support for Iranian activists” and its “solidarity with feminists in Iran and around the world”. Green MP Sandrine Rousseau, who, in France, has always defended the freedom of women to wear the veil, also shared a drawing representing the student in a bra and panties, expressing her support “to Iranian women, to Afghan women, to all those who suffer oppression”. “Our body, and everything we put – or not – to clothe it, belongs to us”wrote the elected EELV.
There are also numerous reactions in the cultural sphere. The Franco-Algerian writer Kamel Daoud, the Franceinter comedian Sophia Aram, and the writer Rachel Khan shared the image of this student who, after her act of defiance, was allegedly arrested and beaten by the guards of the revolution. “This woman (…) embodies the courage and values that we have comfortably turned away from to avoid having to fight. Her look, her silence are lessons, and we now owe a debt to her, because she knows the price of freedom”wrote the essayist.
The French collective “Dare to feminism”who focuses his fight on the patriarchy imposed by “culture Christian Judeo», mentioned an act “heroic and at the same time revolting”, emphasizing that the woman was “arrested after being beaten”.
