Many protestors poured into Tehran, chanting “Death to the dictator”. They also chanted against the police and damaged a police vehicle, displaying the distrust of authorities present in the Iranian public.

A number of protestors in other areas got on motorbikes and overturned rubbish cans and chanted against the authorities before speeding off.

The hijab has been compulsory for women in Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution and the morality police must enforce that rule. They have been criticized in recent years, especially for their treatment of young women.

This is not the first time this issue has been protested in Iran; dozens of women removed their headscarves in protest in 2017. This merely represents the latest protest from the Iranian people in regard to the dress code.

Erickson, in all his vagueness, would probably state that such a shift in election is the result of overheating due to identity politics. With the ever rapid expansion and cultural mixing of Sweden, many citizens can assume to feel as though their identity as being swedish is under attack.
