Roshanak Molaei, 25, posted surveillance video of her harassment by a man on a motorcycle, sparking a chain of events that led to her disappearance into police custody.

Summary

Roshanak Molaei, a 25-year-old Iranian woman, disappeared after being detained by police for defying Iran’s mandatory hijab laws.

Surveillance footage shows Molaei confronting a motorcyclist accused of harassment, and she was later summoned by cyberpolice over her social media post.

Molaei’s arrest has sparked international concern, as her whereabouts and condition remain unknown.

Previously arrested during the 2022 “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests, her case highlights ongoing oppression of women in Iran, despite claims of easing enforcement of hijab laws under President Masoud Pezeshkian.

    The real difference is that many if not all of the countries in your first list are officially secular. Thus I don’t consider them to be Muslim countries I consider them to be secular countries with a majority Muslim population. The religion and the state are separate.

    The ones in your latter list are actual Muslim countries because Islam is their official state religion and some of them like Iran are literal theocracies.

    Given that clarification I’ll ask again do you really expect better from a Muslim country?
