A second woman has been arrested in Iran for protesting against the mandatory law that civilians must cover themselves with a hijab while out in public.

Like the first woman detained, she took off her headscarf and held it aloft using a stick on the side of a busy road in Tehran.

The women are part of a wider movement in Iran resisting the Islamic law as social media posts saw a slew of women acting in solidarity by removing their hijabs.

These brave women face arrest for uncovering their hair in public. Sometimes it's hard to believe that we are living in the 21st century. I can't imagine this level of oppression.

1. Good for her!

She shows real strength to protest against something popular in Iran.

2. Well, we in the US are living in the 21st Century.

In other places, though, not so much. I remember hiking in Turkey in 1968, and happening into a tiny village that could have been exactly the same 2000 years prior to my visit.

I was received by the people there as a honored guest and later returned several times. Friendliest people ever!
