Revolt Against Theocracy: how the Mahsa Movement challenged the Shia rule in Iran
Manage episode 440208000 series 2902251
On September 16, 2022, Mahsa Amini was arrested in Tehran and beaten to death by Iran’s morality police for not wearing her hijab correctly. Her killing caused outrage around the world and inside Iran the “Women. Life. Freedom.” movement erupted in a way which had no precedent in the Muslim world. It was wholly led by women, supported by men, and was a clear repudiation of Islamic rule in the theocratic state.
Guest: Farhad Khosrokhavar, retired professor at the Higher School of Social Studies in Paris and author of ‘Revolt Against Theocracy: The Mahsa Movement and the Feminist Uprising in Iran,’ published by Polity.
