A Muslim woman from Iran ripped off her hijab in anger after a cleric ordered her to dress modestly despite the fact she was wearing a veil. The footage, uploaded on Facebook by My Stealthy Group, has now gone viral.

In the video, the cleric can be heard saying ‘Fix your hijab or I’ll get you arrested’. But the woman completely removes her hijab in front of the cleric while standing her ground.

For the last 40 years, it has been compulsory for Iranian women to wear hijabs in public. The woman could now face jail term for her act.

Journalist Masih Alinejad who covered the entire incident wrote , “Many veiled women in Iran also find the compulsory imposition of the veil to be an insult. By taking videos of themselves to wring white, these women can also show their disagreement with compulsion.”
