Moment Morality Cops Manhandle Woman With Animal Grabber And Bundle Her Into Police Van For Not Wearing Hijab

This is the moment morality cops in Iran manhandle a woman with an animal grabber and bundle her into the back of a police van for not wearing a headscarf.

The shocking video was posted to Twitter by Iranian journalist and activist Masih Alinejad on 13th October. It has since been viewed 112,800 times.

Alinejad wrote above the video: “Today in Iran. Soon enough Taliban would do the same again to the women of Afghanistan. Taliban and Islamic Republic will never be really reformed.”

In the clip, a man and two women dressed from head to toe in black Islamic garb can be seen subduing the woman with what appears to be an animal grabber.

They then bundle her into the back of the vehicle and drive off.

It is not clear when or where in Iran the video was filmed, and the identity of the detained woman is unknown, as is her fate.

Women who fail to wear the hijab in the Middle Eastern country face being charged with ‘inciting corruption and prostitution’, which can earn them up to a decade in prison.

Alinejad, who is based in the UK and USA, became known internationally after starting the online movement ‘My Stealthy Freedom’ in 2014.

The movement encourages Iranian women to post photos of themselves online without their headscarves.

In 2017, she started the ‘White Wednesdays’ campaign, which encourages women to ditch their headscarves on Wednesdays or wear white shawls in protest against compulsory hijab laws.

According to a 2014 poll by the Iranian Centre for Strategic Studies, 49 percent of Iranians are against a compulsory veil.
