After the death of Mahsa Amini, there are demonstrations against the police in Tehran, the capital of Iran. Here, the police say that the police did not assault Mehsa. Several girls were arrested on 13 September. One of them was Amini. She fainted as soon as she was taken to the police station.

Sepdeh Roshno, 28, refused to wear the hijab. After this the police arrested him. Extremely tortured. Later, he was asked to come on national TV and apologize to create panic in the minds of women who did not obey the Taliban order to wear the hijab.

Iran is one of the countries where wearing an Islamic hijab is mandatory for women. Iranian women on Tuesday launched an anti-hijab campaign across the country and posted a video on social media without hijab. By doing this, the women broke the strict hijab rules of the Islamic Republic of Iran. For this, the No2Hijab hashtag was also run on social media.
