Souri Babaei was arrested after her video against compulsory hijab went viral in #No2Hijab campaign in Iran.
She knew that #WalkingUnveiled is a punishable crime but she practiced her civil disobedience to send a message to Iranian regime and the rest of the world.

This little girl was forced to wear hijab to go to school in Iran. Her mum told me she still didn’t get used to it & still hates it.
I myself like millions of Iranian girls was forced from the age of 7 to wear hijab. But nobody wants to hear our stories in the 21st century.Why?

2-This is my experience with compulsory hijab
Left: The time when the Islamic Republic had taken my childhood hostage with compulsory hijab
Right: The time when I freed myself from forced hijab and reclaimed the lost years of my childhood by drawing a butterfly on my face

3-Many people believe that compulsory hijab just a small issue. But it actually isn't a "small issue".
Many of us, Iranian women, have been told from our childhood to be second class citizens, that our bodies are sinful objects, that we should hide ourselves from prying eyes

1-Please don't miss a single video of Yasaman Aryani in this thread, an inspirational heroic woman of Iran.
See how many anti-women laws she broke for freedom
Civil disobedience is in her DNA. She’s in jail. Before being jailed, she'd asked me to be her voice #WhiteWednesdays

2- When I first launched My Stealthy Freedom campaign against forced hijab in 2014, she sent me a video of herself walking unveiled in one of the busiest areas of Tehran. She made a sacrifice to urge more women to join the campaign for their rights
3- She risked a lot as being unveiled is a punishable crime in the Islamic Republic. Later, she sent another video of herself riding a bicycle without her compulsory hijab. She was committing 2 crimes -- being unveiled & riding a bike as a woman
There's no justice in Iran.
You're at the mercy of erratic judges who can play with your life!
1-Political prisoner, Saba Kord-Afshari, 19, had been sentenced to 24 years.
After reducing her sentence, the judge now decided to increase it again.
Imagine this happening to you

2- Saba hasn't committed any crimes. She merely participated in #WhiteWednesdays to say no to forced hijab and #IranProtests to say no to economic mismanagement.
The authorities have arrested her mother, Raheleh, as well for supporting her daughter.

3-In a letter she wrote from prison, Saba said "we're hostages in the hands of this government".
In Iran, a judge can wake up one day and decide to increase your sentence without any legal basis, because he wants so!
Saba and many others are innocent

La virulence des réactions suite à l’appel de @LydiaGuirous contre le burqini de Nike prouve au moins une chose : elle a touché juste.

@LydiaGuirous 1) Comme le sujet est dense, le thread sera long : je mettrai donc une table des matières à la fin.
Il sera question de menaces et d’injures, de l’utilité de la démarche, et de brèves réponses aux principaux arguments pro-voile.

@LydiaGuirous 2) Avoir relayé et soutenu l’initiative de @LydiaGuirous m’a valu mes premières menaces sur twitter, une collection d’injures manquant d’originalité (dont des incitations à l’inceste), pas mal d’invitations à fermer ma gueule. Tout en finesse.
Au sujet de "l'affaire du voile" de Dijon.
Un thread initialement écrit pour répondre à quelqu'un qui défend "le droit de porter le voile". Je le partage ici.

1. Avant tout, je précise que je n’accuse pas la femme voilée de Dijon de quoi que ce soit. Je ne la connais pas, je n’ai pas assez d’informations sur elle pour juger de ses motivations.
2. En revanche, je peux affirmer qu’il est faux de dire que la signification d’un symbole dépend des seules intentions de la personne qui l’arbore. Elle est définie par une histoire, un contexte, et son usage dans le cadre général.

Iran. Il capo della Corte rivoluzionaria islamica, Mousa Ghazanfarabadi, ha annunciato che d'ora in poi inviare a @AlinejadMasih filmati di donne che rimuovono l’hijab in pubblico sarà punito con una pena detentiva da 1 a 10 anni asiablog.it/2019/07/31/ira…
È dal 2017 che l'attivista @AlinejadMasih sta promuovendo la campagna #WhiteWednesdays con cui le donne iraniane sono invitate a condividere filmati a capo scoperto o con un hijab bianco in segno di protesta contro l'obbligo per legge d'indossare l'hijab letteradonna.it/it/articoli/fa…
Ci sono già stati molti arresti per aver violato l'obbligo dell'hijab, ma il nuovo giro di vite reinterpreta il reato come tradimento, accusando gli USA di esserne il promotore. La paranoia è tipica di tutti gli oppressori.
Intanto le proteste continuano

Ora è più chiaro cosa sia in gioco con l'hijab?
Nasrin Sotoudeh, avvocatessa iraniana, è stata condannata a 38 anni di carcere e 148 frustate per aver minacciato la sicurezza nazionale difendendo le donne che da mesi sfidano l'obbligo di portare l'hijab corriere.it/esteri/19_marz…

Per Nasrin Sotoudeh si tratta del terzo arresto in dieci anni (di cui 7 già trascorsi in carcere) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasrin_So… e può darsi che dietro una condanna così severa vi sia la nomina dell'integralista Ibrahim Raisi a capo della giustizia iraniana ilpost.it/2019/03/07/ebr…
D'altro canto nessun politico iraniano ha mai abolito l'obbligo dell'hijab, introdotto nel 1979 «al grido di "Roussari ya toussari" (Velo in testa o botte in testa) con cui i miliziani islamici attaccarono le manifestanti» che lo contestavano corriere.it/cultura/16_lug…
Com'è avvenuto già per Nike vanityfair.it/benessere/fitn… e Mattel iodonna.it/attualita/stor… sfruttando l'immagine di Ibtihaj Muhammad
e a proposito di Ibtihaj Muhammad giova ricordare come sia giunta a praticare la scherma anziché altri sport (fonte mondafrique.com/poupee-dit-all…)
sembra che anche per Decathlon valga il famoso detto dell'imperatore Vespasiano (Pecunia non olet) con tanti saluti agli effetti di oppressione e controllo della vita delle donne ottenuti con notevole efficacia tramite l'hijab corriere.it/sport/running-…
Netanyahu is on now and they list all of his many ministries
Netanyahu starts at #UNGA with a bang, talking about Iranian nuclear aspirations and the Mossad operation retrieving the documents
IAEA didnt follow up at all, so Netanyahu says he’s going to share something new
