“For freedom !” This shocking video shared on social networks on Wednesday begins with these few words as Juliette Binoche cuts her hair as a rallying cry. And the actress isn’t the only one who takes a pair of scissors to cut a lock of hair in tribute to a tough fight that is currently rocking Iran. In total, about fifty people, whether actresses like Julie Prens and Marion Cotillard, or singers like Angèle and Pomme, made the same gesture of support to the Iranian women who had been fighting for two weeks to regain their freedom and rights.
The Persian version of the revolution anthem echoes in the background bella ciao Taken by Gandom (an Iranian artist), between each video series we can read a text describing the birth of this protest movement, which was the subject of intense and bloody repression by the Iranian regime. “Mahsa Amini was a young woman of 22 years old. She was arrested on September 13 and mistreated by the police deputy until her death. She was only accused of wearing the veil inappropriately. She died because she let a few strands of hair show. His death infuriated and touched Iran and the world (…) There are already dozens of dead men and women, including children. Arrests are increasing the number of prisoners already illegally detained and subjected to frequent torture. We decided to answer the call made to us by cutting some of these locks ourselves,” he said.
Ending with a poignant drawing by Iranian illustrator Marjane Satrapi, this video is an initiative of French lawyer Richard Sédillot, whose approach was assisted by producer Muriel Sauzay as well as Julie Zengin. “After talking at length with friends of Iranian origin about what we can do, I thought this video would send a great message of solidarity to draw the international community to what is happening in the country.”announced at the point in this initiative, which did not mobilize everyone and especially Véronique Genest. “Come on! Let’s try the ball at zero? Because frankly, ladies, it’s nice to make a gesture, but compared to what these women have been through, it’s either that or nothing…”star reacted Julie Lescaut.
Go on ! Are we trying to reset the ball?
Because frankly, ladies, it’s nice to gesture, but compared to what these women go through, it’s that or nothing… https://t.co/NtlV0kpWLi— Véronique Genest (@veroniquegenest) October 5, 2022
We can see it this way, but it is no longer demands against the veil, as sociologist Azadeh Khan thinks, but a liberation movement against political Islam, and running it in France doesn’t start out as not supporting political parties.
