Iranian singer arrested for not wearing hijab at concert in Iran

Iranian authorities arrested singer Parastoo Ahmadi last night, who decided, in an act of protest against the regime's hijab laws, to perform and sing without a hijab three days earlier (on December 11).

Ahmadi was also arrested in the previous wave of protests against the regime in 2022, which also erupted over the issue of wearing the hijab (the murder of the Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini, who did not wear the required hijab - AA).

Attached is the documentation of the performance that led to Ahmadi's arrest. The performance received a lot of attention, especially on social media.

##
The arrest comes at a sensitive time for the Iranian regime, which fears a wave of popular protest that will undermine it.

Let each of the executioners who served the Assad regime, and who thinks he can escape to Germany, know that Germany will put him on trial and use the full severity of the law against him.

International security and intelligence agencies should cooperate on this issue.

It can be assumed that the regime's fear of mass protest was part of the factors that contributed to her rapid release.

Fatah spokesman Monzer al-Hayek, on the activity of the PA security forces in Jenin:

There are "suspicious elements" who are interested in causing a coup in the West Bank as happened in Gaza (in 2007) and they are supporting and financing (from outside -AA) what is happening in Jenin.

This will give the right-wing in Israel justification to occupy the West Bank and prevent the possibility of establishing a Palestinian state.
