Amid the intensifying hijab crackdown many Iranians have called for an act of civil disobedience on July12, coinciding with official Day of Hijab and Chasity.
They have called on women to remove their hijab, and on men to fight back if police tries to arrest them. #حجاب_بی_حجاب

Iran: In response to the call for civil disobedience against mandatory hijab rules, a hardliner Twitter account threatened women with acid attacks. The account has been deleted but a screenshot of the tweet is making the rounds. #حجاب_بی_حجاب

Yesterday, video emerged online showing a brave woman removing her scarf in public to protest against mandatory hijab. Security forces attempted to detain her but they face resistance from the people. #حجاب_بی_حجاب
