This Tuesday, Abir Al-Sahlani, a Swedish member of the European Parliament, cut her hair during a speech in Strasbourg as a sign of solidarity with the demonstrators in Iran, mobilized since Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurd, was died on September 16 following her arrest by the morality police in Tehran, for allegedly not respecting the strict dress code imposed on women in the Islamic Republic.
“We, the peoples and citizens of the EU, demand an unconditional and immediate end to all violence against women and men in Iran.
Until Iran is free, our fury will be greater than that of the oppressors.
Until the women of Iran are free, we will be by your side.
Jin, Jiyan, Azadi.
Women, life, freedom!
declared the deputy in her emotional speech.
