Right now, Monireh and Yasaman are locked up in jail. They were sentenced to over nine years in prison for peacefully protesting against Iran’s laws forcing women to wear the veil.
They have faced intense interrogation, solitary confinement and abuse. Deciding whether or not to wear a veil should be an individual choice – not a criminal offence. Join Amnesty International UK today and help free people like Monireh and Yasaman.
