She was arrested on the spot for this along with her 19-month-old baby. Her bravery, however, was inspiration for many others to do the same.

Is she alive ?

Btw completely support the movement! I really do hope women get equal rights.

I really admire her bravery. I can’t imagine what it would be like to live in a theocracy. Realistically how far away is Iran away from women being able to not wear the hijab if that’s what they want? I understand that’s an incredibly difficult to predict but are we talking a generation away?
