The tears come quickly to Masih Alinejad when she talks about the messages she's received in recent days from women in Iran protesting against their government after a young woman died in police custody over a violation of the country's strict religious dress code.

They send videos of confrontations with police, of women removing their state-mandated head coverings and cutting their hair.
