Women around the world are cutting their hair during protests against the Iranian regime in solidarity with the country's women and Mahsa Amini, who died in custody of Iran's morality police.

In this picture released by the official website of the office of the Iranian supreme leader, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, center, reviews a group of armed forces cadets during their graduation ceremony accompanied by commanders of the armed forces, at the police academy in Tehran, Iran, Monday, Oct. 3, 2022.

“This rioting was planned,” he said. “These riots and insecurities were designed by America and the Zionist regime, and their employees.” The demonstrations have tapped a deep well of grievances in Iran, including the country’s social restrictions, political repression and ailing economy strangled by American sanctions. The unrest has continued in Tehran and far-flung provinces even as authorities have disrupted internet access and blocked social media apps.

Iran’s state TV has reported the death toll from violent clashes between protesters and security officers could be as high as 41. Rights groups have given higher death counts, with London-based Amnesty International saying it has identified 52 victims.

But its not the women who will fight against the revolutionary guard and storm the headquarters. Its the men who will have to do it. And so far they are not doing it. Kicking police cars and throwing rocks will not do anything. U need planning and coordination and leadership.

Such a huge difference between ABC news in America and Australia!!!While everyone else is talking about the women revolution in iran and Putin invasion of Ukraine ABC news in Australia main focus is on cake recipes and dad jokes in their programs. Mahsa_Amini abcnews Australia

Say Her Name مهسا_امينی mahsaamini

Such a liar... She died from a heart attack due certainly to the covid injections. And the iranian police des not take you in custody unless you have done something wrong. And not wearing a Hijab correctly is not one them!

MahsaAmini

Keep reporting please, be their voice MahsaAmini

Finally MahsaAmini

Why don't you talk about hundreds of women who are raped or killed by police in your own country.

there is no humane reason to negotiate w/these terrorists and there is no applicable excuse of “diplomacy” when it’s comes to the words of these kidnapping/murdering thugs MahsaAmini مهسا_امینی IranProtests

Thank you! mahsaamini مهسا_امینی IranProtests

Took so long!! But thanks for covering this

There are some courses that I will continue to give for free. Here is one that I am giving for the nth time: 'Wathint' abafazi, wathint' imbokodo' (You Strike a woman, You Strike a Rock) - the battle cry of South African Women. That is enough for today. MahsaAmin Mahsa_Amini

mahsaamini iranfreedom finally some news covering the protests

Use your words correctly. She was 'beaten to death' while in custody.

It makes for great photographs, but the ayatollah has backed the police, religious oligarchies only go if there's a coup- which there won't be-, and as soon as int'l attention fades, these women will be brutalized.

Hang in there

Mahsa_Amini united nation human world SAVE IRAN

This is the hypocrisy of the media united state of America military in Iraq kill a lady you never reported it Isreal is killing innocent souls you didn’t report it Afghanistan bomb a libary more than 50 student you never reported it why Iran hypocrisy and dishonesty

Nika Shakarami, 17, was killed by the Islamic Republic in protests to MahsaAmini's murder. She was 'missing!' Her body was moved in secret. In her funeral, regime sent its goons, they opened fire on mourners who were chanting: 'I will kill whoever killed my sister!' مهسا_امینی

The leaders of Iran now know clearly what Iranians think of them. Enough with their 'the people of Iran have chosen!' The entire world can see that what the leaders call the people of Iran's choices are wishes of a small number of long-bearded dudes insecure in their trousers.

There were protesters all around the world on Saturday that for some reasons you don’t want to cover! 50000 ppl in Toronto and 20000 ppl in LA marched! You all have agenda!!!!!

Farangis, when she cut his long hair and tied it in her Belt at the request for justice and mourning of her husband, Siavash, founded a ritual in ancient Iran that thousands of years later became the most explicit symbol of Iranian women's protest and mourning. (Ref: Shahnameh)

Thanks for being our voice. please also cover the situation of Sharif university of Iran! The police takes over the campus and lock the outdoor gates,the military comes in rounds up the students in the parking garage and starts shooting at them. MahsaAmini مهسا_امینی

MahsaAmin مهسا_امینی

❤️❤️❤️

Great women 👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷

dictators and communists are greedy killing demons that are the cause of wars and epidemics they are always looking for ways to destroy the free world that god has given mankind so we together send it to hell where it was born

The E.U countries and the USA should support the Iranian people's revolution. Iranian people want to change the regime, and contrary to common propaganda, they are not interested in the Islamic regime. Support us. Mahsa_Amini IranRevolution

Shame on you for publishing this unworthy news while students of Sharif university and people are getting killed in Iran mahsaamini sharifuniversity opiran oprah joebiden cnn foxnews abcnews cbcnews nbcnews bbcnews angelinajolie

The Christian right and the Taliban should take notice. They are two sides of the same coin. Women will not take it anymore.

Funny thing is that you think ideological mullahs wanting to turn the world into an islamic califate care about women cutting their care.

Lol, women are so hopelessly impressionable at times.

evanmcmurry Yes, but please talk about what is going on at the universities in Iran right now! Atrocities unfolding. Mahsa_Amini

Don’t forget the muff 😂

lol shave them heads

It’s a nice gesture and I’m totally against the “morality” police, but this will absolutely do nothing to change anything in the Middle East

MahsaAmini

Stunning and brave
