Turkish singer Melek Mosso announced her support for the growing anti-hijab protests in Iran. The singer announced her solidarity by cutting her hair in public. Its video is now widely circulated on social media.
After the death of a young woman named Mahsa Amini, who was the victim of a mob trial, anti-hijab protests broke out across the country. A group of people attacked 24-year-old Mahsa, accusing her of not wearing the headscarf properly, with her cropped hair exposed. Then the woman died in police custody.
After the incident, protests spread across the country. It was big news that the protesting women burnt their headscarves in front of the police, raising the slogan ‘Women, Life, Freedom’. During the last rites of the young man who was killed during the protest, the footage of the sister who sent him off by cutting his hair was also discussed around the world.
