It was an act of bravery that could cost him his life. On Saturday, a student at Islamic Azad University in Tehran, Iran, identified as Ahoo Daryaei30, was harassed and assaulted by campus security officers over wearing her headscarf. In protest, she undressed and walked in her underwear to the outskirts of the institution. Witnesses filmed the scene and the video quickly went around the world.

Woman, Life, Freedom

The rules governing women's dress codes should be tightened with a new bill, still being examined in the Iranian parliament. However, the authorities have already started to apply it. According to The Telegrapharticle 50 of the new bill condemns any person “naked, half-naked or wearing clothing deemed inappropriate in public” under penalty of being immediately arrested and handed over to the judicial authorities. The bill also implements gender segregation in universities, hospitals, educational and administrative centers, parks and even tourist sites. Anyone who breaks the new rules would, among other things, be banned from leaving the country and using social media for a period of six months to two years.

Despite an increasingly authoritarian regime where the death penalty is still in force, many women carry out acts of resistance and appear in public without a headscarf. In 2017, images of the Iranian Vida Movahed posing bareheaded and brandishing her hijab at the end of a stick as a sign of protest against the compulsory wearing of the headscarf had gone around the world. Having become a symbol of Iranian resistance, the young woman was sentenced to one year in prison. Since 2022, after the death of the young Kurd Mahsa Amini, Beaten to death in police custody because of her “badly worn” headscarf, Iranian women rose up massively. The Femme Vie Liberté revolt movement, taken up globally, was repressed with the greatest brutality by the Iranian authorities. NGOs report at least 551 deaths and thousands of people arrested, including the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize Narges Mohammadi. This new generation of women and men are nevertheless determined to lead this revolution against the mullahs to its conclusion. “These girls will one day overthrow Ayatollah Ali Khameneithe future of Iran belongs to free women, not to the mullahs,” a student from Tehran told Telegraph.
