STORY: Recently released videos show protesters blocking roads and setting fire to objects in the Iranian city of Mashhadim, in the northeast of the country. The exact date the videos were shot could not be independently confirmed. Among other things, shops remained closed in several Iranian cities on Monday. And the discussions about wearing a hijab continue. Even if the protests are about much more than just the right headgear. Here are the thoughts of two students in Tehran on the subject: “I didn’t take off my hijab during the recent protests, because I have no problem wearing a hijab. But I don’t agree that everyone has to wear it. Everyone should be allowed to design their headgear according to their own will.” “I like to see hair. Because it should be the case that people can wear whatever they want. And also wear the hijab the way they want.” The protests were sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini. The Kurd died in police custody on September 16. The so-called moral police had arrested her because she is said to have worn her headscarf improperly. Hundreds of people have died in the protests since then.
