A brave young woman who defied the Iranian regime strict dress code has been arrested with her fate unknown



This young woman who defied the Mullahs dress code was arrested

 According to reports, the fate of the “Girl of Enghelab Street,” a woman arrested for removing her white headscarf and waving it in the air in a sign of protest to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s compulsory hijab law is unknown.
The woman’s act of bravery and defiance took place on one of Tehran’s busiest streets on December 27, just one day prior to the start of the national uprising against the Iranian government, as part of a movement known as “White Wednesday.” She quickly became a symbol of hope for the protesters.
The report sites witnesses on the scene seeing her taken away and even accompanied her to the police station. 
The only information available about her is that this brave woman is 31 years old and has a 19-month-old baby.
The incident took place on the same day that the Iranian regime announced it was relaxing its punishment for women who do not adhere to the strict Islamic dress code. Police reportedly said that women who wear makeup and loosened headscarves will no longer face arrest, but will be sent to “Islamic values” classes.
However, women who repeatedly break the rules will ultimately be arrested.
Despite the announced change, it is possible the regime will change its stance again.
