Swedish MEP Cuts Hair in Support of Iran Protests #shorts | VOA News

Swedish lawmaker Abir Al-Sahlani cut her hair in the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, Wednesday, in solidarity with protesters in Iran. Al-Sahlani demanded the “unconditional and immediate stop of all the violence against the women and men of Iran,“ before cutting off some of her hair while standing at the lectern. The gestures of defiance come as Iran is engulfed by anti-government protests. They were sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini after her arrest for allegedly violating the Islamic Republic’s strict dress code.
