Roshanak Molaei, 25, posted surveillance video of her harassment by a man on a motorcycle, sparking a chain of events that led to her disappearance into police custody.

Summary

Roshanak Molaei, a 25-year-old Iranian woman, disappeared after being detained by police for defying Iran’s mandatory hijab laws.

Surveillance footage shows Molaei confronting a motorcyclist accused of harassment, and she was later summoned by cyberpolice over her social media post.

Molaei’s arrest has sparked international concern, as her whereabouts and condition remain unknown.

Previously arrested during the 2022 “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests, her case highlights ongoing oppression of women in Iran, despite claims of easing enforcement of hijab laws under President Masoud Pezeshkian.

    Yes but their government is a literal theocracy thus things like this happen. If the country was officially secular then it wouldn’t happen and the few citizens who wanted this kind of stuff would have no say in anyone else’s life and might even be prosecuted if they tried to mess with others.
