The women of Iran who came out in protest against the hijab are getting global support. In the latest development, a European parliamentarian and Oscar-winning actresses have expressed their support by sharing a video of their hair shaving and protesting Iranian women.

Addressing the EU debate in Strasbourg, Swedish politician Abir al-Sahlani cut his hair during a debate in parliament and said that we, and EU citizens, unconditionally accept all forms of violence against men and women in Iran. and demand an immediate stop. We will stand with you until the women of Iran are free.

Abir al-Sahlani, meanwhile, cut his hair with scissors in front of EU lawmakers and said that the hands of the mullahs' government in Iran are stained with blood. Seeing this act of his, all the MPs were also speechless. Al Sahlani posted the video of the incident on his Twitter handle.

In addition, more than 50 French female artists, including Oscar-winning French actresses Juliette Binoche, and Marian Cotillard, have symbolically cut their hair to support Iran's anti-hijab movement. Juliette Binoche posted videos on Wednesday, saying she supports the women's population. In this, she is seen cutting the hair of her head with scissors. French actresses Isabel Adjani, Berenice Bejo, Juliette Binoche, Lar Calami, Marion Cotillard, Julie Gayet, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Isabel Huppert, and Alexandra Lamy were among those who shared pictures of themselves cutting their hair.

Many such videos are being widely circulated with the hashtag Hair for Freedom. At the same time, a video of Iranian schoolgirls is circulating on the Internet media on Wednesday, in which they are seen shouting slogans about the death of the dictator.

More than 100 people have been killed in nationwide protests over the death of Mahsa Amini, according to the Norway-based group Iran Human Rights NGO. Iranian schoolgirls and women have demonstrated in large numbers by removing their hijabs and holding rallies to protest the death of Amini. Many women have also got their hair cut while raising anti-government slogans.
