Two Iranian women were attacked by a man in a shop because they wore no veils in a video that went viral. The authorities have issued arrest warrants against the attacker, but also against the two women, because they are said to have “committed a prohibited act” by taking off their headscarves. The video shows the two women and the attacker arguing in a supermarket in Shandiz, a city in the northeast of the country near Mashhad. At one point the man pours what appears to be yogurt on the two’s heads before being confronted by the shopkeeper. The attacker was accused of “an abusive act”. At the same time, an arrest warrant was issued for the two women. The measure follows the demonstrations that broke out at the end of September after the death of the 22-year-old Mahsa Amini.
