Morality Police

On the 16th of September, Mahsa Amini 22 was arrested by the so called morality police in Iran, because some of her hair was showing from beneath her head scarf 

3 days later she died in an Iranian hospital, after been beaten over the head with batons, whilst in morality police custody 

A morality police spokesman denied responsibility, but said they must enforce this religious law because if women do not dress properly, then men could get provoked and harm them, 

Women in Iran, and all over the world are now protesting against her murder, some hacking off their own hair, and refusing to wear head scarves. 

An estimated 185 people women included, have died in Iran since the protests began after Mahsa’s death. 


                                            morality police 

to overestimate her guilt ~ is to underestimate their filth

burnt her wings she can’t fly away ~ now her stumps make angels in the clay
