By: OneWorldNews Why are Iranian women cutting their hair and burning their hijabs? Massive anti-hijab protests erupted in Iran following the funeral of Mahsa Amini, who reportedly died in police custody after being arrested by the country's notorious morality police.

The police had also released closed-circuit footage from the police station, which shows when Amini collapsed. What is happening in Iran? Several videos surfaced on social media showing protesters shouting anti-government slogans. Death to the dictator, WOMAN, LIFE, FREEDOM, were some of the slogans chanted by the crowd, while some women took off their head scarves.

Women are obliged to cover their hair and wear long-loose-fitting clothes. And who do not abide by these laws face public rebuke, fines, and even arrest.
