With their hair uncovered, dozens of women have competed freed from the mandatory veil in a track race in the city of Chiraz, an act of courage to protest against the imposition of the Iranian regime to wear hijab. Some of those who have dared wore sunglasses to hide your face.

These images have already had the first consequences. On the one hand, the president of the Iranian Athletics Federation has been forced to resigna resignation in which he has clarified that his federation did not organize the event and that women who did not wear veil they were not part of his agency’s group of athletes. On the other hand, the prosecution has summoned the organizers of the competition so that they give explanations because this incident occurs at a time of strict control in the country.

Only a few weeks ago a new police plan came into force to ensure that women wear headscarves on the street and thus repress a gesture that has become a symbol of protest following the death of Mahsa Amini last September.

In fact, the regime of the ayatollahs has already closed about 150 shops, stores and restaurants for allowing women to go without veil. A gesture that also has consequences for the women and girls from nine years that they be identified. First, they will receive notice of the legal punishment they face, from a fine to jail time and may even be deprived of certain social services.

An unlimited repression that also charges against men. This Monday, two have been hangedallegedly, for blasphemy, for insulting Islam and promoting atheism.
