Parastoo Ahmadi sang while wearing a sleeveless dress during a concert livestreamed on her YouTube channel in December 2024. Iran’s laws ban public performances by women and require them to wear headscarves and modest clothing.

Iran’s judiciary launched proceedings against the 29-year-old after the video went viral, gaining millions of views, saying the performance was “in violation of the country’s legal and cultural regulations”.

    Religion didn’t make this happen, sick conservative fucks use religion as a scapegoat to be sick fucks. Pay attention most of these twats don’t actually follow their religious teachings, just cherry pick what they want to oppress people. Same shit we deal with in the USA with the bible thumpers.

        Right, my problem is u said only religion can make regular people behave this way. My argument is that these are far from regular people, these are phychopaths that use religion as justification. No “regular” person comes to the conclusion somebody needs to be lashed because they didn’t wear a hijab.
