I stand with you: Priyanka Chopra comes out in support of Iranian women #IndiaNEWS #Entertainment
Washington: Amid the ongoing turmoil in Iran, actor Priyanka Chopra has come out in support of Iranian women who have been protesting over the death of Mahsa Amini.
Mahsa was arrested on September 13 as she was leaving a Tehran metro station with her brother and other relatives. She was arrested for allegedly breaching Irans strict rules for women on wearing hijab headscarves and modest clothing. Mahsa was in a coma for three days, then died of natural causes, as the authorities claimed, but according to activists, the cause of her death was a fatal blow to the head.
After the incident, thousands of Iranians have taken to the streets over the last two weeks to protest the death of Mahsa Amini. Women around the globe have shown solidarity with Iranian womens plight in rallies and demonstrations by cutting or shaving their hair in public or while being filmed.
Like many other women, Priyanka Chopra also has extended her support on social media.
Taking to Instagram, she wrote, Women in Iran and around the world are standing up and raising their voices, publicly cutting their hair and many other forms of protest for Mahsa Amini, whose young life was taken away so brutally by the Iranian Morality Police for wearing her hijab improperly. The voices that speak after ages of forced silence, will rightfully burst like a volcano! And they will not and MUST not be stemmed.

She added, I am in awe of your courage and your purpose. It is not easy to risk your life, literally, to challenge the patriarchal establishment and fight for your rights. But, you are courageous women doing this every day regardless of the cost to yourselves.
Priyanka urged the authorities and people in power to hear the protestors call and understand their issues.
To ensure that this movement will have a lasting effect, we must hear their call, understand the issues and then join in with our collective voices. We must also get everyone who can influence others to join as well. Numbers matter. Add your voice to this critical movement. Stay informed and be vocal, so these voices can no longer be forced to stay silent. I stand with you. Jin, jiyan , azaadi Women, life, freedom, she added.
Prior to Priyanka, Elnaaz Norouzi has also shown her support for Iranian women.
