Since Sunday 25 September, dozens of international media outlets have shared a video of an Iranian woman tying up her hair before confronting the police, claiming it was Hadis Najafi, shortly before she was killed. However, the video does not show Hadis Najafi, but a different woman who participated in Iran's protests.
In the video in question, we can see a woman from behind, adjusting her ponytail before running towards one of the many protests that have been taking place in Iran since 16 September, which were sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini following her arrest.
