My Right, Woman’s Right

From Fitnah – Movement for Women’s Liberation
Here is some interesting footage of women in Iran at a football stadium. The regime’s female security is warning women to behave via loudspeakers and telling them to stop dancing and shouting slogans.

As is the case in Iran, even attending a football match becomes political.

Women continue shouting slogans, including:

My Right, Woman’s Right: Half of Freedom
(Hagh e Man, Haghe Zan: Neemy az Azadi)

Entry to a Stadium is our Inalienable Right
(Vurud be Stadium, Hagh e Mosalam e Mast)

At the end of the footage, one woman says: “They keep telling us don’t behave this way, don’t give slogans, don’t do this and don’t do that.  Men can do what they want… their rules and restrictions are for women only.”
