Summer of 1980, Iranian women take off their scarf in front of Tehran courthouse, in protest to compulsory hijab laws passed after the Iranian revolution of 1979.

Before the victory of the revolution, revolutionary leader, Ayatollah Khomeini had promised his new government won’t infringe on the personal rights of the citizens. He didn’t honor this promise or any other one he made, such as the right of opposition parties to continue to exist.
