Iranian Police Question Women Without Hijabs During Ashura Procession 

A widely shared video on social media from July 16 shows women without hijabs in Iran during a procession marking Ashura, the holiest day on the Shi'ite religious calendar. The Iranian police have stated that they have identified some of these women without headscarves and have called them in for questioning. Their appearance at the religious festival without the hijab is part of a broader movement of Iranian women rejecting the Islamic dress code and risking a sometimes brutal response from the authorities.
