abc.net.au/news/iranian-women-get-solidarity-of-renowned-screen-and-movie-stars/101506394As Iran's "Feminist Revolution" enters a third week of street protests against the authoritarian Islamist regime, renowned screen and movie stars from around the world have begun to cut their hair in solidarity.
Rouzbeh Nabipourshiri, a Melbourne-based Iranian refugee, told the ABC that, by cutting off locks of hair, the protesters hoped to show they were not giving up on their demand to uproot the regime. "The protesters have no hopes for gradual improvement or reforms, so they are demanding a complete overhaul and an end to the oppressive regime by the religious leaders," he said.On Wednesday, Oscar-winning actors Marion Cotillard and Juliette Binoche, as well as other French screen and music stars, posted on social media videos of themselves chopping off locks of their own hair in solidarity.
"These women, these men are asking for our support. Their courage and their dignity obliges us," said a post with the video.Some of the other women who took part included actors Charlotte Rampling and Charlotte Gainsbourg, who was also filmed cutting off a lock of hair from the head of her mother, singer Jane Birkin.This highly symbolic gesture also echoes Iranian history and folklore, where women chopped their hair as a sign of protest.
