In 2022, a twenty-two-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman was killed by Iran’s
morality police in Tehran for allegedly wearing her hijab too loosely,
triggering nationwide outrage. Journalist Jonathan Harounoff, Israel’s
international spokesperson to the United Nations, demystifies the context
leading up to the “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests, while paying tribute to the
people of Iran who have paid the ultimate price for freedom.
