Iranian women are sharing videos of themselves cutting their hair to protest the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman who died on Friday, September 16, after spending three days in a coma. 

Amini was visiting Tehran, the capital of Iran, to visit her family when she was arrested by the Gasht-e Ershad (Guidance Patrols), also known as Iran's so-called "morality police." Under Iranian law, which is enforced by these special police units, women must cover their hair and neck with a hijab.
