Thousands of women were seen wearing burqas to mourn the death of President Ibrahim Raisi. At the same time, some Iranian women and men celebrated by posting their nude pictures after the news of the death. Reacting to this, political scientist and researcher Hanih Ziaie said, being naked to express happiness over Raisi's death is a way to express the joy of being free from 'suffocation'. Ziaie said, they feel suffocated, so they want to take off everything and this is probably an expression of this kind of suffocation.
How did this celebration start?
According to the news of Iran International, the idea of celebrating Raisi's death by going naked started with a tweet by an influencer on X. In which she had said on Raisi's disappearance that if Raisi dies, I will share a nude photo. Although it is not known whether she said it as a joke or as a dare and as a political expression, but after this some Iranians joined this campaign and went naked.
“Nudity has always been a symbol of protest”
"In Iran, both men and women are forced to cover their bodies, and those who do not do so are imprisoned. Using the body to overcome this oppression fits in with rejecting oppression," Siyavash Rokni, who monitors social media movements, told Iran International.
She said, being naked has always been a way of expressing protest. Hippie protests, which was an anti-war movement in the 1960s and 70s, also used nudity. In feminist movements, women have often used nudity to demand their rights.
