• Sajjad Delafrooz hopes that 2023 proves to be better year for Iranian women.
• Right now anti-Hijab protests are taking place in Iran.
• It all began when Mahsa Amini died in hands of Tehran’s morality police.

With all the anti-Hijab demonstrations taking place in Iran, “Tiger Zinda Hai” actor Sajjad Delafrooz, who is Iranian, hopes that 2023 proves to be a better year for Iranian women.

It all began when Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish woman accused of violating the severe hijab dress code for women, died after being detained by Tehran’s morality police.

Sajjad Delafrooz shared: “Once you walk the street in Iran, you come to know about Iranian culture, the hospitality, and the generosity. People who treat strangers like family deserve a better life. Iranian people have been fighting for their freedom for decades, and I hope 2023 will bring it to them. Well, I’m confident that 2023 will be the year the freedom sun rises in that land.”

Sajjad Delafrooz also added: “When I saw pregnant women, people with asthma, and frail teenagers standing next to me, I understood what it meant to be brave. I also realised how proud I should be of these women in my country and how hopeful I should be about the future of this world and my own. To these Iranian women who made me put the fear away, gave me a chance to stand next to you.”
