Demonstrations have intensified since the beginning of the hijab protests
It is noteworthy that protests against the hijab started in Iran last year, which were tried to be suppressed by fundamentalists and government supporters. Meanwhile, on September 16, 2022, a 22-year-old Muslim girl Mahsa Amini died in police custody.
The police arrested her for not wearing the hijab properly. Later she was tortured and she went into a coma. After his death, a large number of women took to the streets in Iran.
