Thousands of people, including many of Iranian origin, march in Washington to show support for nationwide protests in Iran sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini in September.
Amini died in morality police custody in Iran after being detained for allegedly not wearing a headscarf (hijab) “properly” in public. Morality police is responsible for enforcing Iran’s strict dress code for women, including the wearing of the headscarf in public.
Demonstrators hold up signs supporting women’s rights while chanting Mahsa Amini, the name of an Iranian woman killed in custody of the country’s morality police after being arrested for wearing her hijab incorrectly.
“From D.C. to Tehran, down with the regime in Iran,” they often chanted, hoisting the names of fallen Iranian protesters on wide banners.
Marchers usually sing “Baraye,” an Iranian song composed of social media posts made by Iranians explaining their reasons for joining a popular movement against the regime.
Siamak Aram, one of the organizers, says demonstrations are planned to be held every Saturdays.
