Opstand i Iran efter mishandling af kvinde for at nægte at bære hijab. Læs om den kontroversielle sag her!
I Iran har en kvinde, Roya Heshmati, fået 74 piskeslag for at nægte at bære hijab og 'opmuntre til liberalitet'. Hun blev anklaget af Teherans retsvæsen for at have krænket den obligatoriske påklædningskode i det offentlige rum. Heshmati blev arresteret i april sidste år, efter hun delte et billede af sig selv uden tørklæde på de sociale medier. Den brutale dom har udløst store protester i Iran, hvor kvinder i årtier har været pålagt at dække deres hoveder og hals siden 1979-revolutionen.
Heshmatis sag har fokuseret opmærksomheden på kvinders rettigheder og individuel frihed i Iran. Den Nationale Råd for Irans Modstands Kvindesekretariat fordømmer skarpt mishandlingen af Heshmati og kalder det en 'fiktiv anklage'. Mange iranere er vrede over denne form for undertrykkelse og kræver ændringer i landets love om påklædningsregler. Denne episode viser tydeligt det fortsatte pres, som kvinder i Iran står over for for at overholde de strenge islamiske regler om påklædning.
Det er bemærkelsesværdigt, at Heshmatis sag har ført til internationale reaktioner og styrket opmærksomheden omkring kvinders rettigheder i Iran. Flere protester er brudt ud i landet som følge af denne hændelse, og debatten om tvangen til at bære hijab er blevet intensiveret. Den brutale straf har fået mange til at sætte spørgsmålstegn ved regimets politikker og håndhævelsen af lovene om påklædning i det iranske samfund.
