A woman at Tehran’s Mehrabad airport tore off a cleric’s turban in protest after he publicly berated her for not wearing a hijab. The confrontation occurred in the airport’s waiting lounge as the woman searched for her husband. Ignoring Iran’s mandatory dress code requiring women to wear headscarves and loose-fitting attire, she shouted repeatedly, “What’s wrong with this?” while chasing the cleric. Masih Alinejad, an Iranian activist, praised the act, saying, “She turned oppression into resistance, shattering the myth of the untouchable turban.” The incident highlights growing defiance among Iranian women against gender apartheid. Iran’s regime enforces harsh penalties for defying hijab laws, including fines up to £12,500, flogging, and prison sentences of up to 15 years. Iran Woman Strips at University To Protest Against Hijab Restrictions, Arrested After Video Goes Viral.
