A position that risks dividing.
On "franceinfo" this Monday, November 7, Isabelle Adjani called on women who wear the veil to "remove it" in solidarity with Iranian women "who are being massacred for this gesture".
The 67-year-old actress cut a strand of her hair a month ago to give courage to women defying the mullahs' regime.
On October 5, Isabelle Adjani cut off one of her locks of hair in support of Iranian women, who have been demonstrating against the mullahs' regime since the death of Mahsa Amini.
The 22-year-old woman was beaten to death by Iranian vice police, who accused her of breaking the dress code.
Since then, the women's protest movement has continued in Iran.
A gesture "in solidarity" with Iranian women
In an interview with
franceinfo
this Monday, November 7, actress Isabelle Adjani calls on women who wear the veil around the world to "remove it" out of "solidarity" with Iranian women.
"This fight of Iranian women makes me want to wait for women who wear the veil to remove it, all over the world, in solidarity with those who are killed, massacred, by doing this gesture", justifies the 67-year-old actress .
Touched by the death of Masha Amini, Isabelle Adjani had supported Iranian women by cutting a lock of her hair, alongside other French artists such as Marion Cotillard, Apple, Alexandra Lamy, Charlotte Gainsbourg, or even Juliette Binoche.
"What we have done through this gesture is simply to send Iranian women a message that can bring them a little strength", explains Isabelle Adjani in her interview for
franceinfo.

“It is not us who are going to change the policy of the mullahs”
Isabelle Adjani affirms that "the world is going badly".
"There have never been so many mentally disturbed people in power in so many countries," says the actress.
