Yasmine Aker Instagram – “Silence is how we support the oppressors. So we must amplify their voices,” says Iranian actress Yasmin Aker based in Los Angeles. Protests erupted nationwide in Iran on September 19th after the killing of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini by government’s ‘morality police’. “This is not a stand alone event. Women are routinely brutally beaten, routinely tortured, routinely ripped out of their families hands, taken into vans and taken to these reeducation sites.” Women are cutting off their hair and burning their headscarves to protest against the regime and call for the freedom of women.
