This is real feminism, and real courage in the face of real tyranny. We can only hope that this woman survives whatever the brutal and bloodthirsty Islamic regime has in store for her.
“Iranian woman who bravely stood on a pillar box in Tehran waving her hijab is ‘missing’ and feared arrested, lawyer says,” by Danyal Hussain, Mailonline, January 23, 2018:
The Iranian woman who protested the country’s ‘modesty’ dress code by standing on a pillar box in Tehran and waving a hijab, is missing and feared to have been arrested.
She had taken off her white headscarf and tied it to a stick in an apparent reference to the ‘White Wednesday’ protests against clothing restrictions on women in Iran.
Not covering your hair in public is a punishable offense for Iranian women, and the unnamed protester, a 31-year-old mother-of-one, is believed to have been arrested by police.
The woman has not been seen since the video of her standing on the pillar box on one of the city’s busiest thoroughfares, without a headscarf or long coat as required under Islamic law, went viral.
The video, widely shared on social media, showed her waving a white scarf in a solemn and brave protest.
The video and images of the woman are thought to have been taken on December 27, a day before economic protests broke out across the country, which helped the images go viral even though they were apparently unconnected.
Thousands of social media users have shared messages, dubbing her the ‘Girl of Enghelab Street’ after the area in central Tehran where she staged the protest.
Using the hashtag ‘#Where_is_she?’, supporters have been sharing the video and images of the woman, demanding that authorities reveal her whereabouts.
Graphic illustrations show her fighting dragons and using her hijab as a weapon against police batons.
Others have been inspired by her brave protest, and copied her act of defiance by filming themselves waving their headscarf in public….
ed says
Probably already dead or beaten to a pulp .
6woods says
She’s in Evin Prison being raped and beaten as we speak. They’ll keep her alive for a while so they can continue their fun.
I’m sorry, Graven Image, but I’m going to have to steal your line….there’s nothing that more concisely says what I’m feeling: God, I hate Islam.
Merrymae says
Well said and I totally agree. Islam is Satanic!!
Rouge1 says
Where are all of the feminist protesting? Really they are leftist who don’t give a hoot about women.
mortimer says
I suspect ‘ed’ may be correct to suspect she has been murdered in jail.
The Persian people can defeat the mullahs if they all work together.
Eventually, there will be a Ceausescu Moment in Iran, when no one believes the MUCK from the MULLAHS anymore. At that moment, the system will fall apart quickly.

When I originally saw this footage I knew she risked her life doing so. God save these people.
gravenimage says
Yes–I appalauded her bravery, but was worried about her from the first.
Lydia Church says
Almost nothing good comes without some form of prior sacrifice.
I do pray for her safety!
Lydia Church says
And some form of bravery and fierce courage in the face of danger.
The American Revolution is one of many examples, Normandy beach history is another (against the nazi regime)…
examples abound….
J D S says
Worried…yes graven…Worried that there would be mass murder of protesters…that those caught in the web of Satan, who REALLY want to be released from that web would never breathe another breath…I have sympathy for all who are caught in this proverbial web but those who REALLY want to be released..flows the sympathetic tear.
Linde Barrera says
God bless this brave woman. If she has been arrested and detained, may she be nurtured by Jesus Christ God Incarnate at least until she is free.+ And I am going to wager that she is still alive.

IRAN IS “LED” BY OLD MEN — SEXUALLY DRIED UP, GRASPING AGAINST DEATH.
In their final years, subjugation & violence upon women is sick pathological revenge for Muhammad’s illusion that his cruel mind as really the voice of God.
When the current handful of mullahs dies,and Iranians who refuse such religious crap get crucial government jobs, there could be a major transition away from Islamic orthodoxy.
Yes, I know this might be foolishly naïve hopeful optimism — but at least it is conceivable. Western values have the advantage of liberty’s power versus perpetual enslavement
Stacy Girl says
The west has become soft and takes freedom for granted. Antifa with covered faces and female clowns in pink hats— these people don’t know what it means to be without freedom like these Iranians.
Westman says
Amen. There isn’t one of them that would shed a drop of blood to defend their country – exactly why 2,000,000+ Muslim men “fled” to Europe instead of fighting and defeating 60,000 jihadi terrorists. They didn’t think their country was worth the price, either.
How long before the West is unable to defend itself in a war that attacks the homeland?
Anne Smith says
This brave woman’s stand in defiance of Islam misogyny shows the nonsense of the L’Oreal hijab advertisement for the craven dhimmitude that it is.
Carol (the 1st) says
Per Dr. Bill Warner, the head covering is not just a “religious” symbol, IT IS A POLITICAL SYMBOL and it stands for SHARIA COMPLIANCE. The Sharia is compiled from Quran, Sira and Hadith and it is filled with HATE SPEECH and subjugation toward all Kuffar. This is the POLITICAL SIDE OF ISLAM and it affects US and is thus very much OUR business. We could surely make an excellent case for it being BANNED in our lands.
The news article above however, seems to have one puzzling new factor/contradiction:
“NOT COVERING YOUR HAIR IN PUBLIC is a punishable offense for Iranian women, and the unnamed protester, a 31-year-old mother-of-one, is believed to have been arrested by police. The woman has not been seen since the video of her standing on the pillar box on one of the city’s busiest thoroughfares, WITHOUT A HEADSCARF OR LONG COAT as required under Islamic law…”
Is the writer being careless or does this indicate that a “long coat” could now SUBSTITUTE for the headscarf? Anyone know Iran that well? If there’s an option of a LONG COAT instead, then this would likely serve to blur the hijab issue and thus might be one of their new “moving target” tactics.
At any rate, Dr. Warner describes once being in a market and seeing three women: a nun in full dress; an African woman with head-wrap; and a muslima in a hijab. He said it was ONLY the latter that offended him as he KNOWS it is a symbol of Sharia compliance with its inbuilt hatred and subjugation of the Kafir. During a later trip to a European country he happened to describe these objections to a man who replied “Well?… so it’s a political symbol!” Dr. Warner countered, “HERE’S a political symbol for you…” and he jumped up and made the NAZI SALUTE. The fellow almost panicked and said “YOU CAN’T DO THAT!..it’s ILLEGAL in this country!” Dr. Warner: “WHY?…it’s JUST a political symbol.” There was a long pause and then the reply “You’ve made your point sir, but please NEVER do that again!”
Westman says
“Grasping against death” may be more accurate than anticipated. The Ayatollah and Mullahs have seen the former dictators, Sadaam, Gaddafi, Musharraf, and Mubarak go down and realize they will be swinging from ropes if the people have the power. They are clinging on for their rancid lives and there isn’t any abuse, torture, or slaughter they would rule out.
jewdog says
This is my letter in the Jerusalem Post on liberating Iran:
Joshua S. Block’s Op-Ed (1/21 EU Appeasement of Iran) called for more effective sanctions to impact European companies and help bring about the end of Iran’s fascist regime. Unfortunately, past experience has shown that sanctions alone are not enough.
The way to dislodge Iran’s ruling clique is via elections that include a wide array of candidates that reflect the diverse sentiments of Iran’s population, and not just the narrow slate approved by the Revolutionary Council. Of course, the Mullahs would never approve of such a profanation of their divine mandate – they know that after almost four decades of religious repression the population is fed up with them, and that many secular politicians would likely be swept into office, effectively ending the current reign of domestic abuse and international terror.
Iran has a working electoral infrastructure; all that is needed is the will to use it fairly. That’s where the US can help by making a non-negotiable demand that Iran open up their field of candidates, and then back up that demand with force. There is no need to invade Iran with troops, cruise missiles aimed at Iran’s military infrastructure will work just fine. We should have no qualms about using gunboat diplomacy against the criminals in Tehran.
Democratization has an excellent chance to work in Iran. The people are relatively educated, progressive and pro-Western. Studies by the ADL have shown that Iran has the lowest rate of anti-Semitism among Muslim countries. We should not let our frustration with failures in Iraq and Afghanistan blind us to the current opportunity to liberate a great country from its reactionary yoke.

HELLO JEWDOG — Thank you for expansion on what I wrote in an earlier comment.
Ziba Delavar says
jewdog, I totally agree with everything that you said. May this infectious disease called Islam end soon and end everywhere. I know if it ends in Iran it will end in the west as well, as this started in Iran with Khomeini.
gravenimage says
Islam much predates Khomeini–but I would love to see Iran and the West freed from its vicious grip.
Fred H says
What nobody is focusing on is the fact that, just like in China, Iran has a full arsenal of modern surveillance technology. Much of this is supplied to it by western companies such as Siemens. This means that the government can sniff out telephone calls, social media chats or e-mails containing subversive content, easily leading it to dissidents. It is likely to have cameras all over the place and even face recognition capabilities. So here is the basic question: how long can a dictatorship last with current computer-based repression technology? Forever, I would think.
gravenimage says
This cuts both ways–people can also pass information more easily now.

This is real feminism, and real courage in the face of real tyranny. We can only hope that this woman survives whatever the brutal and bloodthirsty Islamic regime has in store for her.
……………………..
Yes–this is *real* feminism. That so few feminists in the West are standing by this brave woman is appalling.
Wellington says
Agreed, gravenimage. Modern Western feminism is a sham, a hypocrite, a coward and a massive stupidity.
After all, when you’re fighting for rights you already have, fight fake evils and ignore real evils, you’ve sunk about as low as you can go. Modern Western feminism has “managed” this. I have contempt for it as I do for the worst religion ever created by man.
gravenimage says
My reply is below, Wellington–not sure why it didn’t show up here.
Logic&Reason says
The Western mainstream media would call her an Islamophobe. That’s how far the balance of common sense has shifted.
Krishna says
If she is caught she must be killed in the prison but in some cases maybe she Is hiding some where like the guy in Tiananmen Square
gravenimage says
They aren’t all this bad, Wellington–but many are. That a legitimate fight for rights has so devolved just sickens me.
Here is *real*, vicious misogyny in the Muslim world–and most “feminists” are silent.
Wellington says
I know that there are gradations, gravenimage, but I was speaking in the aggregate, and speaking in the aggregate I rate modern Western feminism as beyond pathetic. Real women’s rights, which I fully support, have been hijacked by modern Western feminism as much as liberalism has been hijacked by leftism. One thing that has not been hijacked is Islam. It started out rotten and remains that way. Au contraire for the women’s rights movement and liberalism.
6woods says
I agree completely, Wellington. How often have we heard that the “peaceful” religion of islam has been “hijacked”? A true hijacking of this vile ideology would mean its eradication…not gonna happen any time soon.
As a woman, I’m embarrassed by these pussy-hatted shrews ( yes, they are shrews in the Shakespearean sense) clamouring for rights they already have.
The probable fate of this brave Iranian mom of three shakes me to the core.
gravenimage says
Sadly true, Wellington and 6woods.
Terry Gain says
Sadly, I think it is likely the case that this brave woman is dead at the hands of Obama’s co-religionists,.
Older Canadian says
I am very worried where this young girl is, what happened to her and/or what she has endured or enduring.
We in Canada we have a prime minister constantly mouthing off about womens rights, a true feminist. All cheer now.
Yet he made no comment like other world leaders did when this protest, mini revolution took place.
But the great Canadian government did announce that they are building air craft for Iran, by a company that received over a billion dollar bail out last year by fed and prov gift givers, which means tax payers.
Z says
When women like her do this they risk their lives. I pray she is only in hiding
Mo says
Contrast this truly courageous woman (and all those like her), with the fools I saw this weekend in my city, “protesting” God knows what, while wearing those stupid pink hats.
I’d trade ALL of those “feminists” for one like this brave lady, any day. I really do wish we could exchange them!

If the information is genuine that the lady exists Who wanted Iranian women to lead beast way of life, she deserves arrest and prosecution to safeguard decency being enjoyed by well éducated and enlighted Iranian women under Islamic révolution. Away with Satanic (unholy spirit) mithraist Christian values fit for beasts only. The educated and enlighted Iranian women fought to restore their diginity, how can they allow an idiot to strip them naked to imitate ugly filthy Christian ladies producing bad smells ?mad devil Trump is just dreaming, Iran will never go backward to savagery of Christian values inspired by thé Satan that enables him sexually assaults women. Secondly, armed robber evil united states Will never have a stooge leader in Iran like the era of idiot shaa dynasty stealing Iranian resources and stash it in American economy. Evil united states was forced to cough out what evil shaa kept in American financial institutions and efficiently utilised for the benefits of Iranians. wicked thieves !!

The vicious Ibrahim itace muhammed wrote:

……………………………
Ibrahim itace muhammed means she deserves to be arrested and persecuted–and likely raped and murdered–for daring to feel the wind in her hair.
And what does Ibrahim itace muhammed consider decency? Child “marriage”, polygamy, wife beating, summary divorce, and “Honor Killing”.
More:
Away with Satanic (unholy spirit) mithraist Christian values fit for beasts only.
……………………………
Ibrahim itace muhammed has said that preventing child rape and marrying for love is “evil”–he considers this decency “fit for beasts only”.
Islam is not just immoral; it is the very inversion of morality. *Ugh*.
More:
The educated and enlighted Iranian women fought to restore their diginity, how can they allow an idiot to strip them naked to imitate ugly filthy Christian ladies producing bad smells ?
……………………………
Iranian women are forced to immure themselves in the Chador, and are arrested and abused if they resist.
And he has made the bizarre claim before that hygeine does not matter, but that Christian women “producing bad smells”. Even more bizarre, he claims that Muslim men who convert to Christianity regrow their foreskins, which are instantly infested with maggots. His view of the world is savagely fanatasic.
More:
mad devil Trump is just dreaming, Iran will never go backward to savagery of Christian values inspired by thé Satan that enables him sexually assaults women.
……………………………
Talk about projection! Ibrahim itace muhammed himself has affirmed that Muslim men can “marry” little girls, and can rape Infidel women and keep them as sex slaves.
More:
Secondly, armed robber evil united states Will never have a stooge leader in Iran like the era of idiot shaa dynasty stealing Iranian resources and stash it in American economy.
……………………………
More projection, since Ibrahim itace muhammed has also affirmed that Muslims can use Infidels as slaves.
More:
Evil united states was forced to cough out what evil shaa kept in American financial institutions and efficiently utilised for the benefits of Iranians. wicked thieves !!
……………………………
In other words, Ibrahim itace muhammed is now claiming that Obama’s pandering to Iran was Muslims forcing Infidels to pay Jizya to the Mullahs. It never pays to appease Mohammedans.

On his ‘better’, ‘lucid’, days, Ibrahim can manage to state some rational points. On the very best days, probably occurring around his mental slack tide, he has even shown capable of including links to sources, if you can believe it.
Today is not one of those kinds of days.

I don’t believe mullahs to be human but some sort of subhuman who failed to evolve along wit the rest of the human race. And Ibrahim is a prime example.
