“Iranian officials have warned that posting video footage of women removing their mandatory headscarves in public could result in up to 10 years’ imprisonment.”
Anyone who stands with the 21st century suffragette movement is deemed a racist by the Democrat party of jihad, Jew-hatred and misogyny.
Iranian women face 10 years’ jail for online videos of hijab removal, officials say
The announcement specifically named the U.S.-based social media platform of Masih Alinejad, which since 2014 has been inviting Iranian women to post pictures of themselves without the hijab

The face of a free woman. Iranian women face 10 years’ jail for online videos of hijab removal, officials say The announcement specifically named the U.S.-based social media platform of Masih Alinejad, which since 2014 has been inviting Iranian women to post pictures of themselves without the hijab Masih Alinejad speaks during the 10th Anniversary Women In The World Summit at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on April 12, 2019 in New York CityIranian officials have warned that posting video footage of women removing their mandatory headscarves in public could result in up to 10 years’ imprisonment.
The announcement specifically named the U.S.-based social media platform of Masih Alinejad, which since 2014 has been inviting Iranian women to post pictures of themselves without the hijab. Alinejad, an Iranian journalist, has been accused by the Iranian regime of working as an agent of the U.S. government because of the website, known as My Stealthy Freedom, which has over one million followers on Facebook.
“As Masih Alinejad has a contract with the Americans, all those women who send the video footages of removing their hijab to her will be sentenced between one to 10 years of jail according to the article 508 of the Islamic Criminal Justice Act,” Mousa Ghazanfarabadi, the head of Tehran’s Court of Revolution, has told Fars news agency.
“Hello Masih, we have joined the campaign against compulsory hijab, from Vali Asr Street(Tehran), our camera is our weapon, no the compulsory hijab" Iranian women defy Islamic Republic threat of 10 years jail sentence if they send videos to #WhiteWednesdays#MyCameraIsMyWeaponpic.twitter.com/C5CB9CQTQE
Earlier this year Alinejad met with Mike Pompeo, U.S. secretary of state, who “thanked her for her bravery and continued dedication to the cause of freedom for Iranian women”.
In recent days, the morality police in Iran have reacted to a number of incidents in which its vigilantes have been attacked in the Tehran metro while “advising” women not to remove their hijab. Alinejad has denied working for any foreign governments. Asked by Fars news agency if sending video clips to an individual in the United States amounted to a criminal act, Ghazanfarabadi has said: “My understanding of the law is that three types of video recordings are criminal acts: to film our military installations; to record private life of another citizen; and the third case is to record a film with the aim of working with an enemy government.” In 2015, the Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy gave Ms Alinejad its women’s rights award for “giving a voice to the voiceless and stirring the conscience of humanity to support the struggle of Iranian women for basic human rights, freedom, and equality”.
The hijab is mandatory in public for all women in Iran with punishment for violations usually two months’ imprisonment and a pounds 20 fine.

There is no same reason to remain a member of a belief system that treats anyone like this.
I’ll bet N-A-M_B-L_A has charter adventure tours of Iran, Afghanistain and Pakistain.

This truly is fascinating. If a muslim girl puts out a fake story of her hijab being ripped off her head by a non-Muslim, it instantly becomes global news, until ofc it’s proven to be fake.
Yet thousands of stories of Islamic countries persecuting Muslims and non-Muslims are completely ignored. The media must know what is going on in the Islamic world, why are they so afraid of telling the rest of us?
Out of mere compassion and humanity, shouldn’t they at least speak out for victims of Sharia law, who are subjected to extreme brutality for removing their hijabs or for converting to Christianity/Atheism?
If we manage to defeat Islam, I bet kids 40 years from now will ask why did the media remain silent in the face of evil, esp since we had learned our lesson from Nazism.
Some truth-telling about Islam by the media and politicians would go a hell of a long way to winning the war against Islam. Teach the western masses about Islam and then let them decide if we need more Muslims in our countries or not.
Hiding this vital information only means that the fight for our freedom will take longer, will be harder and will likely cost much more in blood and treasure to win.
We should be pushing back hard against Islam while the muslim population is still small and less of a threat. What are we going to do when Muslims become 20% or more? Now is the time to resist, in 20 years it might be too late.

Let me set the record straight here.
Please contrast the silence from both the western MSM and Miss M Sparkles with her Vogue front cover which had no room for these brave womens faces on it, and of course the media has no interest in such brave people.
Also it’s reported today that at the last classic flat race meeting of the English season, {sponsored by Qatar} Glorious Goodwood in my Sussex, the first muslim female jockey to race and wear the head bag won her race.
I wonder if I shall ever see a muslim woman ride a winner or enter a competition without wearing the thing and if so what will be the reaction.
The British sporting establishment has sold itself lock stock and barrel to the sand rats, for a little more than twenty pieces of silver.
