She was mourned. She is actually still alive. The protester filmed in the train of s’attacher les cheveux dans la rue as a sign of protest against the death of Mahsa Amini, alors que les femmes ont l’obligación de porter le foulard en Iran, était became a symbole du mouvement de révolte actual dans the country.
Shortly after the video was released, Iranian activists announced his death on social media. They were quickly picked up by various outlets in France and abroad, including BFMTV.com.
The filmed activist and the deceased are not the same
It turns out that the activist in the video is not actually dead, according to the bbc. She even testified for the Persian news section of the British Broadcasting Network.
“A woman who tied her hair has become a symbol of the courage and bravery of the protesters on the streets of Iran. She said in a video call to BBC Persian that she is not Hadith Najafi, whose death has been announced. In a video message, she states: ‘I fight for the Hadith and the Mahsa,'” she broadcasts one of the BBC’s Twitter accounts.
“She said that the purpose of recording this video was to encourage Iranian girls to ‘have the courage to go out on the streets,'” he said.
“Mahsa” refers to Mahsa Amini, the young woman arrested by the Iranian vice squad for violating the current dress code – in this case, the mandatory use of the veil – and who later died in custody, after suffering abuse and falling into a coma. .
For “Hadith”, it is therefore Hadith Najafi, the 20-year-old protester who actually died while participating, as thousands of Iranian men and women have done every night since the announcement of Mahsa Amini’s death, against the obligation to use the veil.
However, we do not know the name of the young woman filmed.
