In the video, the woman creating the ruckus is seen climbing on the police vehicle, moving towards the windshield and sitting with both her legs spread out.
Although the Islamic country Iran has banned the implementation of strict hijab law in December last year, women are still protesting against the hijab ban there. In a similar incident, a woman in Iran’s second largest city Mashhad first took off all her clothes in public protest and then stood naked on the bonnet of a police vehicle and started creating a ruckus. In a video going viral on social media, the woman is seen shouting at armed forces officers.
Iranian journalist and social activist Masih Alinejad has shared a video of the woman’s act on social media. In the video, the rioting woman is seen climbing on the police vehicle, moving towards the windshield and sitting with both her legs spread. Seeing the woman’s condition, an armed male officer present there is seen hesitant to intervene in the matter. At the end of the video, the woman raised her hands and started shouting in protest.

The woman was protesting against the strict provisions for women in the Islamic Republic. She was also seen refusing to cover her body completely. However, as the uproar increased, the woman’s husband said that she is currently undergoing treatment and her condition is not good. Let us tell you that in December, Iranian MPs passed the controversial ‘Purity and Hijab’ law, which provided for harsh punishment on women and girls who display their hair, hands or feet. However, after widespread protests from women, the Iranian government bowed down and banned the implementation of this law. The Iranian government then said that it needed to be improved.
Many global organizations, including Amnesty International, had condemned Iran’s law and called it an attempt to strengthen the oppressive and stifling system. The proposed law also provided for heavy fines and imprisonment of up to 15 years for repeat offenders.
