Hajja Habib, the foreign minister of Belgium, emulated an opposition lawmaker of Iranian descent who sat next to her during a House of Representatives accountability hearing for the government.
The minister from Belgium, who speaks French and is descended from an Algerian family, took the initiative and said she was “struck” by Mahsa Amini’s passing in Tehran last month.
Mahsa Amini, an Iranian woman, died after being detained by Tehran’s morality police, which caused outrage to spread throughout the entire world.
The most popular means of expressing this rage has been “hair cutting,” as many women cut their hair in front of others while participating in protests that still take place today across the nation under the banner “Woman, life, freedom.”
“Women from all over the world posted films of themselves shaving their heads in support of the protesters, not just Iranian women.
Prior to the Belgian minister of Algerian descent, Abeer Al-Sahlani, a Swedish member of the European Parliament, joined the ride and had her hair shaved in support of the anti-government protests in Iran while speaking before the Council of the European Union ”
Our rage will be greater than the oppressors’ until Iran is freed.
Until the women of Iran are liberated, we will stand with you,” Abeer al-Sahlani, an Iraqi-born, said from the podium of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, on Tuesday.
She then grabbed a pair of scissors and repeated the demonstration’s famous slogan “Woman, Life, Freedom” while cutting her hair, then left the stage.
Notably, Mahsa Amini, a young woman from the Kurdish city of Saqqaz in northwest Iran, passed away on September 16 (2022), three days after being detained by the morality police and subsequently taken to a hospital in Tehran.
She is originally from Algeria. The foreign minister of Belgium chops her hair in support of Iranian women
