Iranian Singer Arrested After Virtual Concert For Not Wearing Hijab

Iranian singer Parastoo Ahmady was arrested for performing in a virtual YouTube concert without a hijab. The performance, featuring Ahmady in a sleeveless black dress with her hair uncovered, sparked a row. Her lawyer confirmed her arrest in Sari, alongside 2 male musicians. Iran’s hijab law, enforced since 1979, mandates women wear it, though some oppose its restriction on freedom.
