American feminists were too busy with preparations for their next Hijab Day to take any notice.
“Iranian women’s rights activist, 20, is jailed for 15 years for ‘spreading prostitution by taking off her hijab,'” by Chris Pleasance, MailOnline, August 28, 2019:
An Iranian women’s rights activist has been jailed for a total of 24 years – including a 15-year term for ‘spreading prostitution by taking off her hijab’.
Saba Kord Afshari, 20, was handed the sentence Tuesday by Tehran’s Revolutionary Court after being found guilty of removing her headscarf as well as ‘spreading propaganda against the state’ and ‘assembly and collusion’.
Afshari and her mother, Raheleh Ahmadi, had been prominent members of the White Wednesdays protest group, which spoke out against the compulsory hijab.
The pair routinely posted videos of themselves walking around the streets of Tehran without their headscarves to encourage other women to flout the law.
She was first arrested in the Iranian capital in August last year and jailed for a year, according to Iran Human Rights Monitor.
Afshari was released in February but continued to protest against human rights abuses by the Iranian regime, which saw her re-arrested in June.
She eventually ended up in the women’s wing of Evin Prison, in Tehran, where human rights groups say she was pressured into making video confessions of her crimes.
Despite her mother also being arrested, Afshari refused to record the videos….

Note to Western women – this is what a real feminist looks like.

Note that Hijab Day comes a day prior to Groundhog Day.
Good thing, otherwise if it fell on February 2nd, the day would repeat endlessly and so would the horrendous fashion….
Nader says
Every woman accompanied by their fathers, brothers and husbands must go into the streets and take off their scarves, veils at the same time.

Zakir Naik,the mehical doctor, said women who wear their hijabs are like diamonds.
Of course he also has said “I would rather kill myself than commit suicide” and for some reason thinks his “prophet” muhammed is in the Book of Isaiah.
muhammed was a mass-murderer of Jews{Abu Dawud 4390}:how laughable is it to imagine muhammed would be in Isaiah?
is hitler in Isaiah too?
A shame his Al Lah,his one-legged,two right handed Arab pagan god has not given him guidance or wisdom..
“may allah give us a clear guidance at all our crossroads” he tweets on his islamic comedy channel.
Nope:Doesn’t look like his allah is guiding him rightly…
Given that allah gets the anatomy and physiology behind human reproductive biology wrong in his koran{see “scientific mistakes in the quran’ on You Tube}which means he is not entierly sure how babies are made,remember that as a muslim woman{with a “deficiency of mind” muhammed said which is WHY a woman’s testimony is HALF that of a man in islam}………you are SMARTER than allah and his “prophet”.

Many try to Project Hitler as Independent Criminal. But he was the Product of 20th Century and learned all these Atrocities from History where Self Claimed Supremacists were doing the same to Innocents Labeling Inferior Creatures.

There were lots of decent people in the 20th century–including those who defeated Hitler.
Yes, people are to an extent products of their time–but to pretend that Hitler was a helpless victim of circumstance is grotesque.

“15-year term for ‘spreading prostitution by taking off her hijab.”

Oh that’s rich coming from a bunch of degenerate child molesting sexual assailant sleazebags!

Islamic Republic of Iran: Freedom activist, 20, gets 15 years for “spreading prostitution by taking off her hijab”
…………….
This *poor* young woman. Iran has done this before–described removing the Hijab as “prostitution”.
Note that this is a country that not only legalizes but *sacralizes* prostitution–temporary Mut’ah “marriage”–for as little as an hour. This is a big favorite with religious pilgrims who indulge in such “marriages” away from home.

It also happens in Saudi Arabia! Both horrible countries, especially with the treatment of women and their public decapitations.
Naram-Sin says
Well, how do you expect a Mullah to keep his pants zipped, if you let women take off their hijab.
tim gallagher says
What can you say about these primitive, knuckle dragging leaders of place like Iran. They are f*cking nuts. Serious psychosexual issues they suffer from, as Naram-Sin points out in the comment just above. Oh, yeah, not wearing a hijab is connected to prostitution!!! Yeah, I can see that. That’s definitely true. That saying, you couldn’t make this sort of demented stuff up, surely is the only to describe this mentality. And we’re in the freaking 21st century. All I can say is that I hope this brave woman, a genuine feminist, stays strong and survives this appalling treatment she is receiving from these evil knuckle draggers.
Angemon says
Brave woman.

Given how regularly we hear of such things in msm, I doubt that they are aware of this particular incident. And have any journalists dared to ask them to comment?

How the hell can any government in the Western world approve that abhorrent ideology as a religion?

Where’s Linda Sarsour, Aslan & Co when there is a REAL issue over a woman’s personal Liberty & choice??!! Their silence is deafening! They simply don’t see their own hypocrisy….. Morons.
Tom says
Where are all the feminists and their supporters who claim that a Muslim woman is not forced to wear clothing that completely covers their body. “It’s their choice whether they wear it or not” said a feminist “ There is no coercion in Islam to force a woman to cover up, they do it because they want to.”
Yeah …… Right ….. Sure they do !!!!
