The latest arrests come amid nationwide protests in Iran sparked by the death in custody of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who had been arrested by the country’s morality police for allegedly failing to correctly wear her hijab. Authorities have violently suppressed the protests, which they claim have been stirred up by western governments hostile to Tehran.
Ghaziani on Saturday posted a video of herself on Instagram in which she removes her hijab, a symbol for many of Iran’s religious authority and persecution. “Maybe this will be my last post,” she wrote. “From this moment on, whatever happens to me, know that as always, I am with the Iranian people until my last breath.”
In the accompanying video, Ghaziani, hijab-free, faces the camera and, without speaking, turns around and binds her hair up into a ponytail.
