It’s important to celebrate courage wherever we find it.
Since Sept. 16, we’ve witnessed amazing courage in dozens of Iranian cities, as thousands have protested the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who died in Tehran in the custody of the so-called morality police.
Her offense? She was allegedly in violation of the hijab rule, a mandate imposed shortly after the Islamic revolution of 1979. Iranian women are forbidden to appear in public without a long, loose robe and a head covering.
