In demonstrations after the passing of Mahsa Amini, Iranian schoolgirls have taken the lead, taking off their hijabs and holding irregular gatherings in defiance of a deadly crackdown by the security forces.
Amini, 22, was declared dead a few days after being imprisoned by the infamous morality police last month for allegedly violating the Islamic Republic’s stringent clothing code for women.
Despite the security forces’ retaliation, which resulted in dozens of deaths and hundreds of arrests, anger that erupted during her burial escalated to become the largest wave of protests to shake Iran in over three years.
After a rally over the weekend, riot police confronted the students and hauled them away from Tehran’s prominent Sharif University of Technology’s underground parking lot.
Since then, schoolgirls around the nation have taken up the cause by taking off their hijabs, yelling anti-regime slogans, and defacing pictures of the leaders of the clerical state.
In a video that AFP authenticated on Monday, a group of bareheaded girls can be heard yelling “Death to the dictator” in reference to the country’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as they eject a man who seems to be the principal from a school in Karaj, west of Tehran.
Another group of females can be seen marching along a street in the Karaj neighborhood of Gohardasht while screaming, “Woman, life, freedom .
