Once again, forced #hijab claims another life:
Reports from Iran indicate that 16-year-old schoolgirl #ArezooKhavari tragically ended her life by jumping from a friend’s building after being sent home from a school trip for “violating the dress code by wearing jeans” instead of the required uniform.
Her grieving father shared that this was not an isolated incident; Arezoo had faced persistent harassment from the school over her clothing choices, her friendships, and her resistance to the mandatory hijab policy.
Last year, the school had nearly refused to enroll her.
A reliable source revealed that she had even been threatened with expulsion after the vice principal submitted a video of her dancing without a hijab to the principal for disciplinary action.
In Iran, schools are gender-segregated, and girls are required to wear the hijab from the age of 7 or risk being denied an education. Strict dress code restrictions, targeting both Islamic and non-Western attire, have been enforced since the 1979 revolution. These restrictions, along with religiously based discriminatory laws, have created an environment of repression where expressions of any individual identity out of the Islamic Republic’s fascism can have life-threatening consequences.
The responsibility for Arezoo’s tragic death lies squarely with the Islamic Regime in Iran.
