It's a Sunday afternoon. You put on lipstick, tie your hair in a ponytail, slip on your favorite miniskirt, and head out for a walk.<\/p>\n
It's a sunny day. You're happy and walking down the street singing a song by your favorite heavy metal band. You're young, so who would mind a girl with a beautiful voice singing? A scene like this might be normal in any free country. The girl wouldn't suffer any consequences. She couldn't do it in Iran.<\/strong> There, it's mandatory for women to wear a headscarf in public. Makeup is prohibited.<\/a> Heavy metal bands are banned. Women are prohibited from singing in public.<\/a> Dancing is also prohibited.<\/a> Wearing a miniskirt in Iran could get that girl arrested.<\/p>\n A video recorded in 2022 is circulating again these days, showing a young woman singing in the street in Iran.<\/strong> She isn't singing a protest song or one with a political message: it's \"Khodahafez,\" a love song by Iranian singer Erfan Tahmasbi<\/a>, which speaks of lost love and the pain left behind. At the end of the video, the song is interrupted by whistles: it's the regime's police<\/strong> arriving to prevent a woman from singing in public.<\/strong><\/p>\n IRAN \u2022 Bu her yerde dola\u015fan g\u00fczel \u015fark\u0131, asl\u0131nda rejim destek\u00e7ilerine ve t\u00fcm bask\u0131lara ra\u011fmen s\u00f6ylendi\u2026 2022\u2019de \u0130ran\u2019da, gen\u00e7 bir kad\u0131n bir caddede \u00f6zg\u00fcrce \u015fark\u0131s\u0131n\u0131 s\u00f6yl\u00fcyor.
