“Burn, Baby, Burn”
A truly massive event BY women FOR women is taking place in Iran, right now. And it is both astounding and astonishing to to be seeing and reading.
This video is a truly wonderful thing to behold and witness:
These protests are occurring due to the death of Mahsa Amini, who was just 22 years old. An excerpt from the BBC News article follows below:
“The 22-year-old Kurdish woman from the north-western city of Saqez died in hospital on Friday, after spending three days in a coma.
She was with her brother in Tehran when she was arrested by morality police, who accused her of breaking the law requiring women to cover their hair with a hijab, or headscarf, and their arms and legs with loose clothing. She fell into the coma shortly after collapsing at a detention centre.
