Iranian activists protesting the compulsory hijab by taking it off in public have been joined by conservative Muslim women wearing the chador, a garment covering everything but the face. Women wearing the full-length veil have been photographed holding out headscarves in front of them in solidarity with the anti-obligatory hijab movement. Two women are known to have been arrested for carrying out this form of protest in the Iranian capital since December. A video showing her calmly waving her white hijab tied to a stick above the crowds in the Iranian capital, went viral on social media. Iranian activists started a Twitter campaign using the hashtag #WhereIsShe, demanding that the government reveal what happened to her.
