We see young girls, their hair uncovered, pointing the finger of honor in the direction of Ali Khamenei (the current supreme guide of the Islamic Revolution), and Rouhollah Khomeini (the former guide of the 1979 Revolution, who overthrew the Shah of Iran).
“These high school girls are the future of Iran.
They won't give up.
When you think that they have had to cover their hair for more than 40 years..." commented Farid Vahid, director of the Observatory for North Africa and the Middle East of the Jean Jaures, in a tweet.

"Women, life, freedom"
The death of Mahsa Amini, 22, arrested on September 13 by the morality police in Tehran, for “wearing an inappropriate veil”, provoked in Iran an unprecedented wave of protest in the country.
First directed against the compulsory wearing of the veil, the revolt has since evolved into an anti-regime struggle, supported by a generation of students eager for freedom.
And gave birth to the slogan "Women, life, freedom", chanted by Iranian women demanding the end of a regime that controls their bodies.
A cry of anger that resonates around the world.
