Iran Women Cut Hair

A Swedish Euro MP has joined the movement in support of Iranian women by cutting off her hair in parliament and calling for EU action against Tehran.

As anti-hijab protests in Iran intensify with over 41 dead and 700 arrested, a video of a man's funeral who allegedly died in the crackdown on the protests, has been widely shared where his sister is seen cutting off her hair over his grave.

Under Iran's sharia or Islamic law, women are obliged to cover their hair and wear long, loose-fitting clothes.
