Actress Mandana Karimi spoke about the disappointing responses she got for from her Bollywood colleagues for not joining her in the protest in solidarity with Iran women
Given that Rana Ayyub garnered support through her endorsement of hijab in Karnataka schools, her stance in the context of women's right to choice in Iran did not sit well with Islamists.
Amini was detained by Iran’s ‘Morality Police’ for wearing the Hijab in an 'improper manner' as she had not fully covered her hair. She was then beaten up and subsequently succumbed to injuries.
