Iran’s mullah government has quite a few problems. Next to the international sanctions, the pressure from the Trump administration to live up to the six nations nuclear agreement and the recent New Year protests in all their major cities, now the women’s voices calling for a removal of the mandatory hijab sounds ever louder.
As we informed you last week, a new movement has started in Iran called ‘White Wednesdays’ where women protest in-group against the Sharia law dress code imposed by the theocratic regime.

But something is changing. On Sunday night the regime published a three-year-old study showing that the public distaste for the obligatory hijab is growing indeed, just days after police confirmed that dozens of women had been arrested with protests against the mandatory Islamic headscarf gained momentum.

There is still a power struggle ongoing on whether reform should be implemented and Sharia law could be relaxed as most of the population seems to demand.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the head of the Muslim state and the top Theocratic ruler, stated in the beginning of January that the protests were to be blamed on foreign agitators and will not yield to any softening of Sharia law stance.
President Rouhani, the head of parliament, instead insists that the government should listen to what the demonstrators had to say.
Meanwhile, the chief prosecutor of Teheran Mohammad Jafar Montazeri blames the current anti-hijab protests on influence from enemy agents, namely the USA.
