- On September 13, 22 year old Mahsa Amini died after being detained by Iran’s morality police for allegedly violating strict laws requiring women to cover their hair with a headscarf, or hijab.
Outrage over her death sparked protests that are challenging the very existence of Iran’s Islamic leadership.
BBC Persian’s Jiyar Gol looks at what young people are demanding and why some are saying this could be a turning point in the fight for equality.

As a husband, father of 3 daughters, and grandfather to 2 girls, this deplorable treatment of women made me weep. Love and support from 🇨🇦
Ignore the idiot who’s probably never touched a woman in the other comment. Thank you for being one of the good ones ❤️
Didn't prince harry choose hollywood over his grandmother, father, and titles just to become a runaway girl?
@@elypowell6797 Only Islam can rectify california. We are coming for you western women. Your weapon of mass corruption plots will soon end. You will become housewives, married, chaste, God-fearing Muslimahs that cover their adornments after we are done with you. And you will grow to like it.
@@elypowell6797 The reason why your men do not care about the girls you mentioned, is because they are dayyuth. We care for you Ely, and we will cover up your adornments and protect you from licentiousness, immorality and shame.
@@elypowell6797 listen dear....their dignity is taken by these hypocritical pigs with marals in their pants. You dare to tell them how to "keep their dignity "?.....youre a murderer's appologist & need to check your virtues.
The utter ridiculous comment was not worth debate ......so I put it to you straight.
A girl was murdered for God's sake & over a bit of hair.
Seek your respect.
I am so moved by the bravery of these young Iranian women and men! The extreme brutality of this regime up against teenagers!!! And the cruel irony of “morality police” who kill young girls for a headscarf!!! I passionately support freedom for the beautiful people of Iran! Azadiiiiii ❤❤❤
Thank you for your kind words❤
😳 You think they're "beautiful"?
Ever pick up a baby's severed hand? I have. Courtesy of Iran and Islam. You think a few thousand students represent the majority of iranians? Most support the regime. And they want it worldwide.
Western devils propaganda machine BBC. Westerns are not guardians of Muslims. Muslim will follow their own rule. If any western come here to say something they should given harsh response.
@@kibriabd 😂😂😂 you think we're coming to help you? This is hilarious! Shouldn't you be beating women to death for not wearing a hat?😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@kibriabd All people should be able to “follow their own rule” and all people should have the freedom to do so. You refer to Westerners and Muslims as if both groups of people all had the same way of thinking, not all Westerners think alike and not all Muslims think alike. If you want the freedom to live with your beliefs, why shouldn’t others have that freedom.
As a women, I feel so much for my fellow women going through this right now in Iran, without really receiving any support, and so many being disrespectful and horribally treated and manhandled… I send all my love, strength and power I keep each everyone of you in my heart and I pray this ends the way it should ! Jun Jan Aazadey ❤
all your sending love and praying doesn't do sh*d. The Islamic Republic of Iran will prevail as it did for now four decades. Your little western payed thugs won't change that.

Actually. Most of the deaths are men.
And its Zan Zendegi Azadi.
I really pray you step no foot on their land and leave nations' internal affairs for their nations to deal with
Police are puppets
As an iranian who suffers from this government, I'm truly offended by the label of "tiktok generation" less then 5% of the entire country know what is TikTok we aren't cringe thirsty people we are real men and women fighting for our human rights, this is truly disgusting.....
You are right about that
They shoudln't have said that
I support you and the protesters
I hope you can get rid of the dictator
And gain your freedom and rights
I think TikTok is in the title because like it's said at the start of the video they can't send journalists into the country so they rely on "news" via Tiktok
I hope Iranians success to eliminate brutal ‘moral’ government!!!
ua-cam.com/video/AzmsWIZD1wQ/v-deo.html Hahah we American destroyed you
protesting is not fighting, where are your guns? you know what screw guns any weapons at all take action like Syrians did (sure it got screwed up) but its better than harmless protests that you know wont do anything.
This brought me to tears. Prayers for the mothers daughters and sisters of Iran.
Soldier u r needed to protect women’s and girls of Iran please join now as soon
Why you not pray for Palestian sisters??
we need weapons , shame on west and its silence, we get shots with AK47 and shotguns but u support no one ! we need WEAPONS, or we die alone with emptyy hands

@@kompresordzeki9914 make a documentary and then will cry for them too. Stupid piece of $hit
Please don't call them a TikTok generation, TikTok is facile Rather they are the kickass Persian youth who are strategically making use of social media platforms to spread their message. And it's important to recognise them as such, especially because they can get cut off the internet. I know media does like to have its slang when it comes to young people, like in Myanmar it's "generation Z". More helpful than buzzwords is the fact that young people want change in Iran whether or not they're into TikTok
The regime can't shut down the Internet now. The West can do with Iran the same as it did with Ukraine, by giving them internet from the stars.
Iranian youth, not just Persian.

I agree. As a millennial I’d be furious if people called us the “snapchat generation” or whatever.
The point might have been that TikTok makes it easier for the youth to coordinate their efforts.
Absolutely heartbreaking. I hope this will be a turning point for Iran. I hope these brave women's deaths will not be in vain.
This is so heartbreaking 💔😔 Just because of a piece of her hair on her head scarf? 🥺🧣 they killed these innocent women. 😭 It's clear injustice. Because of their religion, It's better to have no religion then, If we truly a believer and people of God, you don't do it to your fellowmen especially on women. Just think of your mother who gave birth to you and care for you, your grandmother and if you have a sister there's no way you can do such thing like this, if you really have a good faith in God and goodness in your heart your religion and yourself will never taught you to harm anyone and kill. It's Unbelievable! 😭

This is heartbreaking. Wishing strength to all the brave women and men in Iran. Greetings from Ukraine 🇺🇦
Don't wish strength here, keep for yourself. Muslims have a long history of war. USA helped us achieve freedom in Afghanistan 😆. Now they want in Iran. Just take the arms, do your game Kindly don't portray Ukraine as Anti Muslim if Putin senses this he will pull more Suicide Bombers from all over Middle East. Zelensky is a evil figure as he vowed Israel. I know Russian are less on men but once these Suicide bombers go in all Ukraine will rock up even US couldn't stop them how would you?
Also wishing strength to you, and all the brave people in your country.
Слава Україні!
Thanks for your support, we Iranians have a lot of sympathy with the people of Ukraine. Unfortunately, Iran has been under an Islamic fascist regime for the past four decades, that is, the worst and most terrible type of government, this government does not represent the majority of Iranian people. The actions of this fascist religious government are not approved by the people of Iran in any way. Actions such as giving weapons and missiles to war criminals and child killers like Putin are not approved by the Iranian people and are a source of great shame. Ukraine 🇺🇦 + Iran *
* because the logo of the fascist Islamic regime is printed on the flag, we do not approve of the flag of Iran.
I wish death to the Ayatollah, the Revolutionary Guards and the Mullahs.
This has brought me to tears. I visited Iran alone in 2018 and even though I loved my time traveling around the country, I had such a mix feeling with the regime and deeply sympathize with what women have to go through. I even had my bachelor thesis about Iran regime and it was the country I had always wanted to see myself. It took me weeks to process my emotion after leaving the country and I have always longing to go back. Women, Life, Freedom

We need weapons to fight back or we die empty hand against AK47 and shut guns. Our kids worth not less than Ukraine. Support us with weapons. I can send you many videos. Cops shooter at us. Help us fight back.
@Archer Cillian I agree! I saw it much earlier hence I left Indonesia in 2016 for good before it’s too late.
WHAT????
YOU VISITED IRAN?
ARE YOU ONE THOSE WOMEN WHO MARIED " ISIS" FIGHTERS?
ARE YOU A MUSLIM?
@Archer Cillian Stop, Indonesian women are not oppressed and can live freely in any Islands would like to live. I love Indonesian people, specially artful Balinese and their paradise, the Island of Bali. most of Chinese people have lived in Indonesia for centuries like other Southeast Asian countries. Chinese are in control of economy in all those countries and known as Jews of Orient. In other words women in that part of the world have never been oppressed or ever will be.
Cried so much watching this. This is heartbreaking but at the same time heartwarming knowing that Iranian women and young girls are no longer afraid, they were always educated, they were always enlightened but now they can no longer be silenced and are no longer afraid to stand up and speak out. What is more encouraging is that more men are now standing up for their mothers, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, wives, daughters and girlfriends supporting this cause with them. A lot of respect to activists who have carried the torch for fair treatment of women for decades now, your sacrifice will not be in vain. I remember as a young teenager watching the film 'Not without my Daughter' - that was very tormenting, i can only imagine what it must be like for these women who have to put up with this every day of their lives. For 40 years this has been their reality! I am from a small Pacific island nation and in our country women are held in high regard. I hope your brave fight for freedom and fair treatment will result in the removal of the Ayatollah regime and an overhaul to the radical Sharia Laws. IT'S LONG OVERDUE!...WOMEN, FREEDOM, LIFE...Much love and prayers from Tonga.👏🙌🙏❤️🇹🇴

Well said ❤❤
Wow! I love the bravery of the Iranian people to fight for what they believe in. Keep fighting and you will win!!! As an African American, my people had to fight to get out of slavery and another fight for civil (equal) rights in America. Many people lost their lives but I'm free today as a women and as a black person in this country. Thank you Jesus! Prayers and blessings from America 🇺🇸 🙏
They are not tik tok generation. They are revolutionary and awaken ones 🙏
Respect to all women of Iran. Keep fighting for your rights.
In Islam women have no rights . half the value of a man .
I lived in Iran for 7 years in the 80s/90s, never arrested or harrassed by the morality police ( basij). the reason? I never showed my hair on the street and wore my scarf “ properly”. it was not difficult not to show your hair in public. period.I am NOT religious, If i could do it, why can’t others???? 😳

@@jerodfal They are careering toward it, it’ll be one of the first to fall.

As a woman who feels i am not wholey free and safe, i send my support and respect to Iranian people who fights against anti-human right.
Thanks for shining a light on this devastating issue and for the transcript its the first time I have seen it and I already love this feature!
And to think every single person was birthed by a woman. And this is how you treat them? This is how you treat mothers and daughters? The strength of these women and men are absolutely amazing.
Women! Life! Freedom!
Greetings from the USA ❤
Exactly. Woman. Life. Freedom.
Freedom? literally everyone is a slave, we live in a world where the president of the US granted immunity to the Saudi crown prince
Almost all the middle east countries have a male- dominated society actually it comes at the constitution of these states. Women have very tough life in these kind of societies and became a victim so disappointed
@@sardashttown8992 I'm the middle east everyone is a victim, you get forcefully dragged into war just for being a man and you die for nothing, don't act like only women are oppressed when all poor people are getting fucked on over in these countries
They are pathetic betas who stand by and watch their mother or sister get beaten by others. Each one of them will go down in history as the weak cowards, bringing shame to their families by being such dishonorable weaklings. They cling to their boyish gangs because alone they can't even beat a woman.
My culture is also traditionalist, real men protect women from oppression, and the honorable thing to do when men beat women, is to find those men and do things I can't say on YT 🤣Women here can and do lay naked on the beach and no man will harass her, or else....
Very inspiring documentary...brave people!!
Very moving reportage. Well done BBC.
Iranians didn't just wake up and decided to protest. They demand freedom in their country which they deserve. Keep it up
Freedom is for dunce Animals
They were protesting frequently many times, not at this scale though
Hahaha
@@Sam-ht4og that's a good point. I likely won't be able to reply for some time, but could you please point to other moments where tensions simmered over into a boil? Perhaps all i had gleaned was that during a drought, people were having to go without water and there was an issue about that connected with governance by the regime that was causing unrest. That said, it didn't seem clear from the reports available in English that there was a resistance to theocratic rule in particular, it was seemingly an outcry specific to access to water. But it's not hard to imagine that if you were severely afflicted by dehydration in connection with decisions made by a regime that you wouldn't be forgetting stuff like that overnight. I even wondered whether a recent video of retro Iran circulating on UA-cam had played something of a role if that kind of material was hard to come across - if it became kind of a touchstone of sorts. My own attention is so divided i haven't managed to watch it yet, but it's interesting to consider the factors that draw together to make this something which is happening now, as opposed to, say, 5 years ago.
we need weapons , shame on west and its silence, we get shots with AK47 and shotguns but u support no one ! we need WEAPONS, or we die alone with emptyy hands
Thank you BBC for this enlightening documentary.
I found it awe inspiring..these women and men putting themselves in the front lines of this fight I salute you all.
I wish that your demands are met and it makes a difference to women all around the unjust world.

@@keyonkian How is being halfnaked freedom? When God himself told human beings that clothes are to cover our bodies and not to expose them? Women: God gave them life. The same as he did to Adam. Freedom: True freedom ( spiritual freedom) is to serve God and his prophets. And life is temporary on this earth. Average life span of human beings is 60/70 years old. After that we will meet God. What is an eternity with God? Compared to a short temporary life on earth? I made my choice as a convert to Islam. I wear hijab by choice. I pray that God guides all of you. Ameen. ❤⚘😢
BBC doesn't give F... about Iran or Iranian, read your history. In 1353, British (BBC) government topple Shah & then brought him back. BBC is a tool used for regime change. In 1979, they toppled Shah but not this time. This regime has been prepared for this time & well developed an anti revolution strategy. They will catch every traitors & receive their full force of laws. Have a very nice cold winter, deep recession, high inflation, highly interest rate & more. Cheerio
@@AG-wb3db do you think women should have their face and head constantly covered , it must be so hot and uncomfortable during the summer , skin needs to breathe , it's not as if they are exposing their selves in an inappropriate way , just feeling the wind in your hair , you lose body heat and lowers temperature when ill
Tears are rolling down 🥺 still girls are going from this😢😥may god help them as soon as possible ❤
I’m literally crying watching this 😢
It's amazing to see so many men, young mostly, supporting their sisters. If the mullahs have not understand that's a transversal and organic movement they're risking to be overthrown by the same social tissue that expelled the Shah.
Damn straight, it's actually an incredible movement, it's very unusual to see something of this character. Really unique - rising out of the ashes of decades of suffering. Amazing, beautiful to behold. Powerful.
It does make sense though. Iran is not like the other theocratic states in the region, in that it had a history of secularism under the Shah. These kids grandparents, and likely some of their parents as well remember a time when women were not oppressed to this extent. It seems that when going from a kind of freedom to tyranny, the tyranny cannot last forever. I’m not defending the Shah for the record, that regime had its own flaws, but extreme religious oppression wasn’t one of them.
@@theoriginalt-paine3776 In my opinion nothing will happen no military force is interested in this woman led protest. They are just people who flood some streets but no serious contender is backing them because their manpower are still ultra-conservative. Soon the protests will be old news.
These videos are Pre Shot coming out of Iran. I'm sure as I live here. The Mullah is still here, if this happens just imagining he won't take time to use Chemical Bombs like the Syrian Assad.
This isn't just about headscarves and women, this is about 40 years of terrorist religion ruining peoples lives. How many men have been prosecuted because of who they dated, or what they said....

@@AG-wb3db Lmao! how is blindly submitting to an imaginary god of an epileptic prophet who blackmails you into obeying freedom? Having the freedom to choose is freedom. Blindly following orders is not. Facing consequences for exercising your most basic rights over yourself is not. How dare you judge women for being 'half naked' when men have the freedom to roam around in shorts. Showing hair is not being naked. You can wear modern clothes and still be modest. Y. Many of these women do not believe in your religion and shouldn't be forced to. Even if they did, why should they be punished or face any kind of scrutiny for it? Belief is a private matter that should be kept to yourselves. ou don't have to agree with what everyone chooses to wear but that does not give anyone the right to hurt them for the decistions they make about themselves
Islam is a cult like religion created for the benefit of men. I don't know what lies they told you to convince you to consciously ditch your freedom to submit to a tyrannical false god but I made the choice to leave it after uncovering the lies and waking up to the oppression I faced as a Muslim woman (and no I'm not just talking about wearing the restrictive hijab). I hope that you made your decision knowing that there is a death sentence for leaving this cult in Islamic states by court order. All the best with your faith.

@@azimlihemsire8442 Look, Islam was founded by a man who married and had sex with a little girl. Muslims are in denial about soooo many propblematic things, including this. It's mass delusion. It's absolutely heart breaking, cause men and women both suffer in the end, the muslim economies are in the dump, and there's constant fighting. I believe all of this will never end until people REALLY rationally and with the ability of true self-reflection have a good look at what Mohammed truly did. Not only having sex with a little girl, but also decapitating people himself. It's problematic, to say the least.

“Turning point in the feminist movement in Iran”? Aren’t they simply asserting their basic human dignity to be able go outside without harassment and persecution?
Here's a newsflash: the fundamental foundation of feminism _is_ about basic human dignity, including to go outside without harassment and persecution. There are different strands of feminism, which the average dude may never recognise. 21st century microwave identity politics on social media isn't the be all and end all of a struggle that is over a century old. Nor is any outcome of that struggle a given in any place on earth, with women statistically being sexually assaulted, disappearing and being murdered in an obviously disparate way. For example for young women in the US, murder is one of the leading causes of death; the risk drops as the woman ages. Does that sound healthy and liberated? Check out how many women disappear or are murdered by men in the US in even one state. Laws seem equal? Nothing is a given, laws can be repealed. Feminism isn't about saying that no women are annoying or have authority they can abuse themselves (for example a number of women physically abuse children). It's about the belief that women do not deserve inherently lesser rights than men, and it's that simple.
I also wouldn't really dub it feminism unless the Iranians call it that, but nevertheless it's blindingly obvious by their slogan that the status of women is at the centre of their struggle, and feminism is just another word for women's rights.
Nothing says such struggles have to be or could possibly be identical between countries What is quite unusual and very disarming about this os that the men are right there beside the women supporting the same thing. 💪♀️ Not something you see everyday in the West.
There's something for everyone to respect here in my view, and the respect shouldn't be contingent on disrespecting some other group - yet a lot of comments are of such a nature. Please use your imagination and listen to what they are saying. It doesn't matter what you call it. But it's very interesting that this struggle strongly appeals to men who consider themselves to dislike women's rights in the context within their own culture.
It wouldn't be hard to agree that this is struggle on a different level but yeah, besides the US, check murder rate for women everywhere from Greece to France to Brazil. Many issues remain, if you use social media as a barometer then take it with a contingent pinch of salt (unsolicited advice, i believe in women's rights but a lot of things online are annoying and pretentious etc)
Well. Demanding that "human dignity" in a patriarchal society is a feminist act. The freedom enjoyed by women in Western countries is also a product of the feminism movement.
Not being brutally arrested for not covering your hair is not a feminist movement. You're right. It's more like not having the government treat you like a dog with no collar who gets rounded up and taken to the pound.
What there doing is feminism standing up for their sex based rights it's real feminism ✌
@@laurenjones2909 Feminist rights would be like the rights to go to school, go to university, graduate medical school, become a cardiac surgeon and be given the same opportunities and pay as a male who did the same. If that female cardiac surgeon gets detained on her way home because her hair is peaking out of a headscarf she shouldn't be forced to wear I guess it is also feminism. It is feminist because the Iranian man won't be arrested for not growing his beard. It's a law that applies to only one gender so it is sexist. It also seems like a violation of basic human rights too. I guess it's both.
Women all over the world should be treated with respect as any other human being. We deserve to be free, independent, and being given the same opportunities. We don't want privileges, we want equity. I salute Iranian women for fighting for their rights.

@@carleypetillo7685 under the shah living conditions were extremely terrible. It was a despicable us sponsored dictatorship, it shouldn't be glorified in any way. There was a reason the 1979 uprising began, it's just sad that the regime that replaced it wasn't any better.
So proud of the people of Iran!

Kos Nago Baw Galiver.....
Fan here in the Philippines 🌴 and I'm supporting women life and freedom in Iran...
Me too from Oz, and i also hope you are ok in the Phillippines given the crazy weather rocking you too.
But i dont wannt that Iran is like Philipines
Great comments Joselito and Mothra!!!
Anyone who is reading this! pls ask G7 leaders to expel Iran's Diplomats! Wishing the best for Iranian women and men is not gonna stop the regime from killing them
EXPEL the diplomats of this DIKTATORSHIP!
Idk haven’t heard anything out of there in weeks..:has there been anything coming from those places? Didn’t the govnt shut down the internet?
Great to see just as many men out protesting against the oppression of their women ❤
The Iranian authorities not letting a mother bury the remains of her own daughter that they killed is like something out of a Greek tragedy, just like Antigone. I hope justice has haste and is swift with these thugs and their theocratic government that benefits only them and to which they cling themselves so dearly, while destroying other people's lives.
@@vagrant-techart8278 I'm not comparing Iran to Europe? Just saying how vile the situation is.
This is heartbreaking 💔
Thank you for Iranians and fellow people of the world who are standing up for women, life, and freedom!
Using “Tiktok generation” is extreamly demeaning and does not do these people justice. It’s most likely not only gen a taking part in this protest, but most of the Iranian youth don’t even have access to this app. Please change this title and do these brave people justice for how strong they are fighting and putting their LIFE at risk.
Das macht mich so traurig!!!
Woman of Iran you are so brave. May God bless you all and protected you from this demonic leaders.
@Nadia Azari now is your time 🌹💪✌️ I know how much you have sacrificed in standing up to this regime, strong beautiful women and girls and the men and boys who stand with you. Sincerely, may you be delivered the victory and justice you deserve. The underlying Persian culture is so rich, may you reclaim it and may your determination sweep away those who would subjugate you. Love from a sister in Australia! 🐨🍀
@Nadia Azariour prayers are with you Nadia, keep on fighting for your rights and get rid of these animals
Yes you will
@Nadia Azari you need Usa that he show you like Irak when he walk with she like Dogs and kill she . And thies man how show thies Videos is in Jail 👍
we need weapons , shame on west and its silence, we get shots with AK47 and shotguns but u support no one ! we need WEAPONS, or we die alone with emptyy hands
This production should win a Pulitzer award. Thank you to all who were involved in this production. This is heavy, strong.
Yes, these women are actors! -(joke)-
Women. Life. Freedom. What a sick and disgusting treatment of humans. How can you treat your women like this Iran? I can't imagine the lives of these women, they really deserve better. Love from California, keep fighting for your rights.
you're lucky, if you were born 50 years earlier you'd be living under a patriarchy in the USA. american women weren't even allowed to open up a bank account until the 1960s. Rightfully so if you ask me. Men didn't give women rights for thousands of years for a reason. Women's rights were a mistake and Islam is right about women
The way women express their angers and communicate with the community. I want to cry when the part of burning their scarf, they finally challenge themselves and bravely express themselves.
I was wondering the other day, how did humanity ever advance to the level we have come to, with our brutal ways and instincts?? Then I saw this video and remembered.... we advanced only by the extreme courage and sacrifice for those willing to stand for women, freedom, life! We must continue to advance as humans not fall back into the ditch of our own patterns of aggression, domination, submission. Maybe we are capable of much more if we could remember how important are women, life, and freedom? Worth standing up for.
wow astonishing salute these women of Iranian 🙏
Makes me cry
Bless you all
This is Soo sad. We in America take freedom for granted. This should not happen to anyone for how they look or dress. It should be about protecting the country and having good behavior
Not really as we are losing our freedom too bunch of Godless commies lookat what parents are doing too their boys making them think they're girls same way for females. So yeah we're losing our freedom for the weirdos.
Don’t worry, America’s women are voluntarily going backwards starting with losing their reproductive rights and women are doing it to themselves.
@@sukn7091 not all are the same. A life is a life and no one except God decides when they should come and go. The only choice we truly have is to prevent it but once its done there shouldnt be no going back. Love you Shalom xo
So true. Wake up america
@@babyflor5377 prevent it? You mean castrating rapists, or mandating vasectomies until a wife signs off wanting children, or requiring reproductive education, or requiring insurance companies to give her birth control, or requiring injectable birth control for men so women who suffer while on birth control aren’t forced to use it, or actually supporting women who are raped instead of implying that she’s either lying or deserves it? You mean those kind of things that prevent unwanted pregnancies?? I haven’t seen one piece of legislation to actually help women not get pregnant or that make men responsible, just more misogynistic religious drivel.
Respect to all the women in Iran fighting for their freedom and the freedom of Iran, a country with an amazing history and such talented people. Security forces: SHAME on you!!
may the souls of the deceased rest in eternal peace..God will surely reward the sacrifice and efforts of these brave Iranians..There is light at the end of the tunnel!!!
I am speechless to the bravery of these young Iranians……. May the Lord GOD part the RedSea for their cause…. My ❤️ heart bleeds for these brave young ones who have been put in bondage
gony maha Wow....I had no idea your imaginary god took sides.....how does that work exactly?
When we are going realise thet life itself is a gift ,
Nothing is more important than this !
Please know my heart is with you. I think about you often. I wish I could stand with you in the protest. Thank you for fighting- I know your lives are on the line. For you.
Nika was absolutely stunning. A beautiful person in spirit and soul. She will be back around, and succeed this time. Freedom woman life and peace ❤️✌️☘️
Go for it ladies! Take and hold on to your freedom. From 🇺🇸

Anyone who is reading this! pls ask G7 leaders to expel Iran's Diplomats! Wishing the best for Iranian women and men is not gonna stop the regime from killing them
Thanks Marty. We will fight till the end.
@@kompresordzeki9914 Your too stupid to even use English. Why are you even here?
I'm from Iran and we all know it's not just that generation , it's more than just a generation thing , yes the Gen Z are at the center but they are not alone in this protests.
I swear Raisi's voice sends chills down my spine every time he speaks about these protests.
When you call them "TikTok generation" you make this historic moment look stupid.
"Because they feel that our country is getting more powerful in every way" :))))))))
There has been a high tension between the government and the Iranian intelligentsia (especially of the younger generation) for a long time. I spoke with Iranians on conferences and I saw that.
It's unbelievable! PLEASE TAKE SOME ACTION TO SUPPORT THIS REVOLUTION #MAHSAAMINI
I am with you ✌️ we see you ♀️🍀 💪 unsolicited advice - please make plans ahead of time as they may cut off internet, mobile reception. If they do, don't let that be the end, and if you have to go underground, don't let that be the end. Now is your time. This is a Persian rose for you to help protect your spirit in the event they should try to harm you 🌹 they have hurt so many of your people for so long, yet your culture is so resilient, it has found all sorts of ways to express itself. But the risk is real and the sacrifices are real. And that suffering of your people is part of you, and part of this. I would have it that, if those people try to hurt you, you could be transported to a transcendent memory and vision of a field of roses, knowing that what you are part of is rewriting history and you're all incredibly brave. Your culture is one from which poetry springs. It is yours, and it's just a privilege to be able to see you all reclaiming it. Good luck, sisters and brothers.
By seeing this video I am so sad for these innocent people. I hope deaths and harm to these innocent people will stop and they will win their battle for freedom.
Would be better to change the title demeaning this movement
I thank the brave women here. I thank the brave allies. I feel the love of the united people of Iran ❤
thanks for what? no battle has been won yet. quite on the contrary, this may end as bad as the arab spring protests did.
Dave: ONE STEP AT A TIME. These women have taken FIFTY! WOMEN LIFE FREEDOM!
@@davegl9305 It's better to die for freedom than live in tyranny.
So in the videoclips she enters the police station basically alone and then she collapsed in middle of a conversation with 2 other women ? So when exactly did she got beaten ? And all we have are some accusations of her father ?
We all should be supporting every cause like this
I cry watching this. So painful to watch. Why do people need to fight for their rights. This is not a privilage, this is their birth-right 😢❤ the Philippines love Iranians ❤️✔️
I love that they have risen up
I wish one day after 22 years of being kicked Out of my country 😪 I can go back home 🏡 one day soon
11:00 Jon Snow with mic in his hand is legendary.
In awe of the bravery displayed
Those who succeed are those who stay in the battle the longest
these women are my heroes. strength for you all, I hope you guys succeed. much love, from a country that hasn't yet awakened.
When did the West mention women, children, and minority rights when the West destabilizes nations, arms all factions in a war, and finances genocide and ethnocide, such as in Yuguslavia to Syrian civil war as contemporary examples. There was never mention of human rights only when US and the West seek to undermine enemy nations to rob their oil, minerals, and other resources. Why you as a Westerner did not defend the many women and children murdered by Western policy that benefits your lust for gold and diamonds, materialistic life?
@@jacqueslee2592 because I'm Asian, living in Asia???
@@chrollophile In Asia, there are many nations.Within Asian countries, there are many ethnic nationalities, but most likely you are from a pro-Western Asian nation such as South Korea, Japan, India, Philippines, etc.
@@jacqueslee2592 still wrong, I'm not from any of those countries. just read my comment again, I said that they're my heroes because I live in a country where if no one does anything about it, the state of this country will become like them. theocracy will rule the country where women like myself will be treated just like them.
It’s uplifting to see so many men joining the protest, it shows there is hope for all humanity!
May the gods be by their sides!
where were the international protests?
I have so much respect for the citizens of Iran.
You guys have shown the world how brave you are and how you would rather die than to live under a system and regime that was forced upon you.
Keep fighting for your freedom and no doubt you will regain your freedom and lives.
Sending you love and prays from Lebanon 🇱🇧 🇮🇷 ♥
At least the Iranians are man enough to protest. The Russians would rather run away or be Putin's b------.
@@trollface2323 thats ignorant because some people tried to protest and they get taken off the street
@@hashhashbrowns5381 if Russians are not willing to fight then they don't deserve freedom
@@hashhashbrowns5381 true, also even the ones who are afraid to protest are victims themselves of the government so why belittle them?
@@onlycows726 government is afraid of losing power
Thank you BBC❤❤❤❤❤ #mahsa amini
I am just amazed how these people can justify their treatment of these young girls and women.
SO BEAUTIFUL
Dictatorship, Empires , rulers and dynasties have never been fallen without bloodsheds no matter how strong the ruler and dynasties there always comes a time in centuries when people stand and fight for their rights and history have proven that their dynasties have fallen..i believe this is the time for Iranian women to make that history ..keep fighting victory will be yours long live Iranian women.."women life freedom "
