Protests broke out in Iran on September 16 following the fatal beating of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini by morality police for wearing her hijab ‘improperly’. An Iranian woman has been jailed for ten years for ‘encouraging prostitution’ after removing her headscarf at a protest. Many people across the Middle East and the West have attended protests to burn their headscarfs following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini. The protesters say they are fed up after decades of social and political repression, and deny having any foreign agenda. Is removing headscarf encouraging prostitution ?
