Here’s anoth
er photo from Iran via Kian Azar in support of the Nude Photo Revolutionary Calendar and corresponding video. The signs on the wall say: ‘No to Hejab’, ‘I am not someone’s honour’, ‘Women=Men’, ‘No to Stoning’, ‘Down with the Islamic Republic of Iran’, and what seems to say ‘No to gender apartheid’. The woman on the left has ‘Down with the Islamic Republic of Iran’ written on her body and is holding a sign that has political Islam crossed out. The woman on the right is holding a sign, which says: ‘I am a woman’. Together they are holding a sign which says: My choice, my thoughts, my body’…
Obviously they cannot show their faces because it would mean a death sentence to do so.
By the way, I will write a comprehensive response to address opponents of the calendar after my panel discussion tomorrow night at the National Theatre.
The calendar and corresponding video have received a lot of media coverage. Below is a list of many of them:
