00:03:28
harassing women they see who were
00:03:29
failing to wear the mandry
00:03:33
hijab in this clip two women wait in
00:03:36
line at a supermarket a man enters
00:03:39
attacks them by pouring a tub of yogurt
00:03:42
over their hair to cover
00:03:44
it we've managed to reach one of the
00:03:47
establishment's foot soldiers in tan
00:03:50
Hamid Reza Ahmed abadi is a member of
00:03:52
the Revolutionary guards paramilitary
00:03:55
group called bass it helps enforce rules
00:03:58
like the hijab on the streets
00:04:00
he's become a prominent defender of the
00:04:05
regime one group of these women are
00:04:08
mentally challenged and they must be
00:04:09
checked in mental health clinics but
00:04:12
others are fooled by the international
00:04:15
media like the BBC they are
00:04:17
hallucinating and it won't be difficult
00:04:19
for us to deal with them are you not
00:04:21
refusing to accept the diversity of
00:04:24
Iranian
00:04:27
Society it's a very good question the
00:04:29
majority of our population are Muslim
00:04:32
once I identified a spy filming a
00:04:35
protest she looked like a terrorist I
00:04:38
went to her and asked her to stop she
00:04:41
confronted me I slapped her and grabbed
00:04:44
her camera and squeezed the lens into
00:04:47
her mouth it seems like you take pride
00:04:50
in being violent towards
00:04:52
women in our country there is no such
00:04:55
thing as opponents of Islamic Republic
00:04:59
people are born Muslim so they need to
00:05:01
follow the rules if anyone wants to
00:05:04
breach the laws the enforcement Powers
00:05:07
will intervene and arrest them to some
00:05:10
extent it seems the regime is in denial
00:05:13
about what the new generation wants and
00:05:15
how much Iranian Society has changed or
00:05:19
perhaps returned to values that were
00:05:21
once common before the Islamic
00:05:24
revolution I believe I believe I believe
00:05:26
I believe I believe I believe I believe
00:05:29
I believe I believe I believe I believe
00:05:31
I
00:05:32
believe Iran before the 1979 Revolution
00:05:36
where women had relatively equal
00:05:39
rights this rare footage shows the first
00:05:42
time women were given the right to vote
00:05:44
in 1963 by the late '70s several women
00:05:47
served in Iran's Parliament and local
00:05:49
councils women could request divorce
00:05:52
fight for child custody and the minimum
00:05:54
age for marriage was raised from 13 to
00:05:56
18 they were also free to wear whatever
00:05:59
they they
00:06:01
like the country became a diverse Center
00:06:04
for regional art and culture its liberal
00:06:06
values were despised by the leaders who
00:06:08
installed the Islamic
00:06:13
revolution from the very beginning women
00:06:15
protested the loss of their rights here
00:06:18
opposing the hijab just days after the
00:06:20
1979
00:06:22
Revolution since then many Iranian women
00:06:25
have led double
00:06:27
lives the regime Paints the hijab as a
00:06:30
religious duty but even inside Iran it's
00:06:32
possible to find some voices who
00:06:34
challenge this I never try to convince
00:06:38
anybody to wear hijab because I believe
00:06:42
that in
00:06:44
Quran Quran does not imply that wearing
00:06:49
hijab is compulsory as Islamic Republic
00:06:53
says the majority of people do not
00:06:56
accept this claim would you say that the
00:06:59
author ities rules could actually be
00:07:01
pushing people away from religion away
00:07:04
from Islam extreme policies in Iran has
00:07:08
pushed many women many men in
00:07:13
Iran uh far from religion uncovering
00:07:18
hijab uh is a symbol for change
00:07:22
movement in recent days the regime's
00:07:25
moral Authority has been rocked by a
00:07:27
series of leak sex tapes including a
00:07:30
senior and Hardline official responsible
00:07:32
for Islamic guidance engaged in sex with
00:07:35
another man he's been suspended ahead of
00:07:38
an investigation a difficult position to
00:07:40
be in for a government that criminalizes
00:07:43
homosexuality secret lives at the top of
00:07:46
the
00:07:48
regime it's 45 years since the
00:07:51
revolution that brought the clerics to
00:07:53
power in nearly a year since the public
00:07:55
Outburst of anger against a system that
00:07:58
has suffocated women's rights
00:08:00
now the vision of a unified Iran that
00:08:02
the regim projects has itself been
00:08:05
revealed as an illusion and it's not the
00:08:08
hijab that's at stake but rather the
00:08:10
legitimacy of the regime itself

Description:

In September it will be the anniversary of the death of Mahsa Amini, who was arrested by the Iranian Revolutionary guard for allegedly not wearing the hijab properly. Last year the movement for "Women, Life, Freedom" exploded onto the streets of Iran, and beyond, but in the country it was met with breath-taking brutality. More than 500 were blinded deliberately, thousands more arrested. But women are still defying the morality police, despite a renewed crackdown involving mass surveillance, risking violence and incarceration. The BBC cannot operate in Iran. The internet too, is restricted, and for many its a crime to talk to Western media, but Newsnight's Emir Nader, and producer Ali Hamedani talked to people inside the country to give us this virtual tour of Iran after the Women, Life, Freedom protests.
