It has been more than a week since the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who was arrested in Tehran by the morality police of the Islamic Republic of Iran for not wearing her hijab properly.
Amini, who died in a hospital after falling into a coma, was reportedly beaten for not wearing a proper headscarf.
As a result, outrage has seeped into every crevice of Iran, prompting women to protest for their freedom. In the United States, some celebrities pleaded for justice in the death of the Iranian woman, while others shared information with their followers.
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian is heavily involved in criminal justice reform. She shared her story on Instagram during a facial, sharing her sadness for what is happening not only in Iran, but also in its neighboring country, Armenia.
The reality star, who is studying to become a lawyer, shared a heartbroken emoji at the end of her statement. The 41-year-old woman is of Armenian descent, and she also drew attention to the unjustified attacks and killings of Armenians by the Azerbaijani military. Kardashian has been outspoken about recognizing the horrific acts of 1915 in Armenia by the Ottoman Turks as genocide, which President Joe Biden did last April.
Bella Hadid
Bella Hadid, whose father is Palestinian real estate tycoon Mohamed Hadid, often talks about the atrocities committed in the Middle East. The 25-year-old model took to her Instagram to share a side-by-side photo – which has since gone viral following Amini’s death – showing the young woman strapped to a presumably fan juxtaposed with a photo of a her before falling into a coma. Hadid wrote, “Rest In Peace #mashaamini You didn’t deserve this. Send blessings to his family and loved ones.”
Jessica Chastain
Jessica Chastain, the Oscar-winning actress who is heavily involved in different activism mobs, shared several posts about Amini’s death, writing, “His death has led thousands of Iranians to take to the streets, demanding an end to violence and discrimination against women Dozens of these demonstrators were killed.
In the days following Amini’s death, Iran experienced extreme unrest and many deaths.
Chastain continued, “In an attempt to quiet the noise, journalists in the field have been arrested and Iran’s Islamic public has shut down the internet. But the people of Iran will not be silenced. I stand with Iranian women and will amplify their voices from afar. When a woman is attacked, it is an attack on all of us.

She took to her Instagram to share a powerful video comparing Amini’s death in Iran to the death of George Floyd in the United States.
She wrote: “It doesn’t have to be that way. Religious extremism and the subjugation of women under the guise of ‘morality’ is wrong in any country”, referring to the supposed ‘police of the morality” which arrested Amini.
