Earlier, on 13 September 2022, an Iranian woman Mahsa Amini was detained in Tehran and was brutally killed by the morality police of Iran. She was killed because a bit of her hair was visible in the hijab.

Amini was accused of not adhering to the strict dress code laws in Iran. Melek took to her Instagram to share her video of chopping her hair. She captioned the video,
If you want to grab us by the hair and drag us into your darkness, we’ll cut that hair too! Freedom should be equal for all around the world. It is the right of all women to live humanely in this world! The various restrictions and persecution of my sisters, wherever in the world, breaks my heart. Mahsa Amini, who was killed at a young age, and many others whose lives were taken from them in the recent conflicts… I am with the Iranian people and the women who are fighting for their freedom there until the end✊🏾@bahman_ghobadi(Iranian director) was addressing Turkey’s artists in a video I watched: “Your support can have a great impact on civil protests right now. If artists in Iran hear your voice, they will be more courageous to support their people.” I invite all artists to support and encourage the people struggling there❤️🔥 WOMEN, LIFE, FREEDOM! ZEN, ZENDEGI, AZADI!”
