'FOR THE WOMEN IN IRAN': Novelist Kim De L´Horizon used their acceptance speech after winning the German Book Prize to shave their hair in solidarity with women protesting in Iran.

FILE - A woman holds a placard with a picture of Iranian woman Mahsa Amini during a protest against her death, in Berlin, Germany, Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2022. . And the ruling establishment is lashing back. Celebrities have found themselves targeted for arrest, have had passports confiscated and faced other harassment. Singers, actors, sports stars — the list goes on. . And the ruling establishment is lashing back.

It ends with the widely chanted slogan that has become synonymous with the protests: “For women, life, freedom.” But their popularity has also made it difficult to crack down too hard on them — in contrast to protest activists whom security forces have arrested in large numbers. Iran has a vibrant scene of singers and actors, as well as sports stars, who are closely followed by the public.

One of Iran’s most beloved singers of classical Persian music, Homayoun Shajarian, projected a large photo of Amini behind him on stage as he sang a traditional song, “Dawn Bird,” during a tour in Australia in September. Iranian leaders blame foreign governments for fanning the protests. Iranian Deputy Interior Minister Majid Mirahmadi said celebrities in particular have had a “steering role” in the unrest.

Hahahaha.. what a sacrifice. A guy shaving his hair. firstworldproblems

What does a man shaving his head do? 🤦🏽‍♂️

Dude this is a women's issues just because u joined this trend of going bald it doesn't make u a women dork

Yeah good job shaving hair will magically solve the issue

Perhaps sending money would do more for them.

How exactly will that help the women in Iran? I would really like to know.

WTF is this?

Yes! Man shaving head = women fighting for rights. Solidarity 🙄

Cartoon.

Nawao

Their? Did I miss an english lesson at school?

His

So brave. Why didn't he do this in Iran?

this is how mental disorders can manifest themselves. feel sad for him. the fact he wants to be called them they or whatever proves MULTIPLE PERSONALTY DISORDER

I am sure the Iranian government will rethink what they are doing after seeing this

Wow!!! He is such a hero. Get this man a cape

🤮

The irony here is off the scale. In Iran, as a homosexual, you have a choice to pretend to be a woman, or be executed. For this guy and many others, it’s performative mental illness.

What's his position on masking toddlers and firing the unvaccinated?

Poor human being.

Oh boy! What a messy.

Is that him? Seriously he's Bruno right? The way he dressed and his voice just like Bruno.

Have that khormanie

Iran is shaking in their boots now

THEIR speech? That is one person, singular not plural. Stop playing into the game.

You mean his. HE shaved HIS hair.

That'll stop the Iranian government!
