French Oscar winners cut off their hair for Iran protesters

as she hacked a large handful of hair off the top of her head with a pair of scissors, before brandishing it in front of the camera.The video, hashtagged HairForFreedom, comes with Iran engulfed by anti-government protests. They were sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini after her arrest for allegedly violating the Islamic Republic's strict dress code.

Images of women elsewhere cutting their hair to show solidarity with Iranian women have gone viral -- from Turkish singer Melek Mosso on stage last week, to women in Lebanon and Syria, to Swedish lawmaker Abir Al-Sahlani in the halls of the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Tuesday. A museum in Rome is collecting locks of hair to present to the Iranian Embassy.

The video of Cotillard, Binoche and dozens of other women cutting off locks of their hair was released on an Instagram account, "soutienfemmesiran" -- which translates as "support women in Iran." This highly symbolic gesture also echoes Iranian history and folklore in which for women to chop their hair is a sign of protest. The Shahnameh , a national epic of Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan written by the Persian poet Ferdowsi between 977 and 1010 A.D., refers to a princess chopping her hair to protest against the death of her husband seen as unfair.

OMG she took 1/2 inch off

The Oscars are still a thing?

She's trimming her dead ends. Oh, the solidarity. 🙄

Now waqt

Why don't they go to Iran and protest there with the women there who actually need them. I could shave my back for women in Iran which will do nothing just like cutting their hair will do nothing.

Why don’t they fly over there and help them?

No one cares what actors do... their so outta touch with reality they dont realize their working for pedos and traffickers.

Whoop De Do! You cut your hair! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Better is that POTUS JustinTrudeau dont allow radical Iranians enter n. America. You put sanctions on KremlinRussia_E for a war you (georgesoros & cafreeland ) started but not Iran for killing women whiteWednesday

A lot of good that will do!

And how is that supposed to help

Oh look me I’m in the news I cut my hair big deal do something important to make a real difference in the world

Nobody cares

مهسا_امینی

😂😂😂😂😂😂

I get my hair cut every week by a lovely Iranian lady, will you be rolling out the red carpet for me?

Because it’s an offence in Iran to even ask for foreign help, so spreading awareness is important. You ghouls.

Wow

🙄🙄next round of virtue signalling has begun.

Iranian women & men are fighting for their basic human rights and being murdered, tortured, raped and arrested and taken to no where by terrorist fascist IRGC gov every day. They are ISIS even worst! IranRevolution2022 is happening in Iran Please be Iranians voice MahsaAmini

Not enough hairs cut more da you little trim

😂😂 let’s all virtue signal 🤪

Virtue signalling actors...feeding their own egos by essentially doing nothing...good job..

That doesn’t mean much Ben Kingsley!!

Trolls with no hair commenting.

Oh, oh, oh!! EVERYONE LOOK!! It's celebrities looking for attention!

liberal_party JustinTrudeau RESIGN...CORRUPT IDIOT

Curious how much these Oscar winners donated to help families affected by hurricane Ian.

Big fucking deal so a person that does absolutely nothing for people decides she’s bored and needs attention so she cuts off her hair, what a hero.

🤣🤣🤣 I'm doing that every other month... Sure... for Iran protesters

Lol. Peak narcissistic society. Has to be near the end. The cellphone 📱 📲 era had cemented the prison doors.

You know if Hollywood is supporting Iranian women - we should be doing the opposite?

I DGAF what Celebs in Hollywood do. What are the actual policy makers doing?

wow great work

Time for a new avatar….sorry Ukraine, flags are so last year.

That’s hardly cutting off her hair

😂

I thought they liked the hijab

Now you feminists are outraged? Last year you were all screaming how the hijab is empowering.

danmac800 Lol Well, it's all better now. Such narcissists.
