India TV News  

Oscar-winning actors Marion Cotillard and Juliette Binoche, as well as other French screen and music stars, filmed themselves chopping off locks of their hair in a video posted Wednesday in support of protesters in Iran. "For women to cut their hair in Iran is a form of protest a symbol to stand against the mandatory hijab," said Dorna Javan, an Iranian political scientist based in France and specialised in Iran. 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. "Women cutting their hair is an ancient Persian tradition also found in the Shahnameh, when the fury is stronger than the power of the oppressor," tweeted Shara Atashi, an Iranian writer based in Wales.
