A Woman Who Sacrificed Herself for Women's Rights

On February 21, 1994, at 3:00 p.m., a 54-year-old beautiful woman drove her car to Tajrish Square north of Tehran. Tajirsh Square was noisy and crowded. She stopped her car and walked to the Bazar of the Square. She first tore off her headscarf and emptied a gasoline can on her head.
Then she shouted “Death to oppression! Long live liberty’ And she lit a match. Dr. Homa Darabi immolated herself.
