Hengameh Ghaziani: From Acclaimed Actress to Courageous Voice of Dissent

The year 2022 marked a significant turning point in Ghaziani's journey. Following the death of Mahsa Amini and the subsequent widespread protests across Iran, Ghaziani became an even more vocal advocate for change. Her public acts of defiance, including appearing without a headscarf in solidarity with the protesters, drew both admiration and condemnation. These acts, symbolic of resistance against mandatory hijab laws, placed her directly in the crosshairs of the Iranian authorities.
