Terrible events in Iran by brutal police

I have been commenting on other sites.
Perhaps you could have given Mahsa Amini respect by naming her.
May she rest in peace.
And please don’t think it’s only men who are abusing the women. There are videos of women violently attacking women like a pack of hyenas.

I find it very heartening to see the numbers of men, not at all only the young ones, who are supporting the women. There was a video I saw recently, can't remember where, but one of the 'morality police' attacked a woman and not only women but men defended her and 'saw off' the abuser. He wasn't so brave when it wasn't just women objecting! With men and women fighting together for female rights they can win.

And personally I think its a shame we are not part of this movement, but the reporting is very up to date

So many women in the world oppressed.

I’m in awe of the women and now the men who are demonstrating. They are so brave to stand against the militant Muslim state.

The same applies to anyone who demonstrates against corrupt regimes, Russia for example.

I don’t think I’d be brave enough.

Am pleased to see that some Gransnetters are troubled by this matter and want to comment.I feel it is the least we can do here in the West to condemn the so called modesty police who are no more than cruel cowards, and to applaud women there, and men too who are adding their voices to this outrage.

They are brave and beautiful and astonishing. The reaction is predictable and I would just fear the worst but for one thing - they are often supported by young men from their own generation (and presumably, some family member too.) Yes it is great to live somewhere where as women we have more freedoms but we still face domestic and sometimes public abuse: just to hope and do whatever we can so one day wherever we live..its OK to be powerful and true to ourselves as women.

I think they are amazing, in a world of troubles I wish them yet more courage and strength.

They are incredibly brave.

They are so brave and in such dangerous circumstances. Looks like the revolution is swelling though and lots of men are supporting the women and girls too.
The so called modesty police are a bunch of perverts!

It is heartbreaking to see what these brave women and girls are enduring. And these inadequate brutes that are enjoying their sadism claim to be the moral ones!

I have just seen this on Twitter, heartbreaking

So many dreadful things happening in other countries. Makes me thankful that I and my family live here, warts and all, or Australia.

There is a growing movement of women cutting their hair, celebrities posting online and everyday girls and women. This started in Iran when females cut their hair when they removed their head coverings,

Along with the many protests happening all over Iran have culminated in police brutality and the death of several women in custody.

They are being urged to send their hair to Iranian Embassies.
