The fight against "bad hijab" is as old as the Islamic Revolution, which has erected the conservative dressing of women as one of its pillars.
[The Sun and the Lion] is one of the main emblems of Persia and was formerly an important element of the national flag up until the Iranian Revolution in 1979.
The anti-hijab protests in Iran started in September, when 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died while in custody of Iran's controversial morality police after being arrested for not wearing a compulsory headscarf properly.
