A woman is detained for not wearing a hijab after defending herself against harassment

Description:

After fighting off a motorcycle who reportedly harassed her sexually, 25-year-old Roshanak Molaei Alishah was taken into custody in Iran. She may be seen slamming the attacker to the ground in an internet video. However, the police detained Roshanak for failing to wear the headscarf, which is required in Iran, rather than sentencing the man. Roshanak, a well-known activist who took part in the demonstrations after Mahsa Amini's death, was sent to prison. The case serves as an example of the increasing persecution of women who don't follow the regime's rigid clothing code. Her present situation is still unknown.
