New Delhi: The anti-hijab campaign in Iran has been garnering support from several well-known personalities around the globe.
Iranian-born actor Elnaaz Norouzi who is known her work in the Netflix series Sacred Games has now extended support to the women protesting the “morality police” in Iran by asserting their right to wear anything they want.
In an Instagram post, Elnaaz stripped several layers of clothes to stress the fact that a woman has the freedom to choose what she wants to wear and no one can stop her.

Her post reads: “Every woman, anywhere in the world, regardless of where she is from, should have the right to wear whatever she desires and when or wherever she desires to wear it. No man nor any other woman has the right to judge her or ask her to dress otherwise.
“Everyone has different views and beliefs and they have to be respected. Democracy means the power to decide…Every Woman should have the power to decide over her own body. I am not promoting nudity, I am promoting freedom of choice,” she wrote.
Elnaaz has previously modelled for brands like Dior, Lacoste before taking up an acting career.
The anti-Hijab protests erupted across Iran on September 16, when 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died three days after falling into a coma following her arrest in Tehran by the morality police for an alleged breach of the Islamic republic’s strict dress code for women.
While activists claim that her death was caused by a blow to the head, authorities have blamed it on a pre-existing medical condition.
