Security forces paraded a young man in the streets of Marivan, Iranian Kurdistan, while covering his head with a women’s shawl.
The disgusting punishment sparked a wave of outrage among the public who saw this not only as inhuman humiliation of a young man, but as humiliation of all Iranian women who are forced to wear the hijab and cover their head and hair.
