A member of the European Parliament, Oscar-winning actors and women and girls around the world are publicly cutting their hair to protest the death of an Iranian woman who was in custody after violating a dress code.
The death of22-year-oldMahsa Amini after being arrested by Iran's "morality police" for not properly covering her hair triggered a wave of unrest and women-led demonstrations in a show of solidarity.
Swedish politician Abir Al-Sahlani cut her hair while addressing the European Parliament during a debate.
“Until the women of Iran are free, we are going to stand with you,” Al-Sahlani said while cutting her hair. “Women, life, freedom.”
A girls' school in Iran brought a member of the IRGC-run Basij paramilitary to speak to students. The girls welcomed the speaker by taking off their headscarves & chanting "get lost, Basiji".
French screen and music stars, including actors Marion Cotillard and Juliette Binoche, filmed themselves chopping off locks of their hair in a video posted Wednesday.
“For freedom,” Binoche said.
State television suggested at least 41 people had been killed in the demonstrations as of Sept. 24, and there has been no update from Iran's government since, according to The Associated Press.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -Former President Donald Trump agreed on Monday to additional restrictions on the $175 million bond in the former U.S. president's New York civil fraud case, resolving concerns by the state attorney general that the funds were not secure. The bond issued by Knight Specialty Insurance is meant to secure Trump's compliance with a $454.2 million judgment won by state Attorney General Letitia James if he does not succeed in an appeal. Justice Arthur Engoron imposed the penalty after finding that Trump, the Republican presidential candidate to face President Joe Biden in the Nov. 5 election, fraudulently inflated his net worth and real estate assets to deceive banks and insurers into providing better terms.
