French stars cut their hair in solidarity with Mahsa Amini. You might revisit a bit of the past.
Juliette Binoche holds the scissors to her hair, the same do Marion Cotillard, Isabelle Huppert and Isabelle Adjani, Jane Birkin, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Julie Gayet and many, many other movie stars, as well as well-known singers like Angélie and Pomme. A total of over 50 prominent French women have appeared in videos on social media in the past few hours. They are seen cutting off a strand of hair in front of an audience.
As a sign of solidarity, they are adopting a protest gesture by Iranian women. This has been spreading since September 16, since the Iranian Mahsa Aminidied of alleged police violence following being arrested by the vice squad for curls peeking out from under her hijab.
