Hejab as Weapon in Islamic Iran

Hejab as Weapon in Islamic Iran
Hejab as Weapon in Islamic Iran

I worked in Iran for many years as a photojournalist and documentary photographer. Many of my photographs were never published for a variety of reasons, mainly censorship. Because of censorship, the real image of my country is always distorted. After moving to Norway in 2010, I decided to tell the stories of some of the photos I had not been able to publish before. Hejab as Weapon of War is one of these stories. The photographs were taken in different locations and at different times. This is my personal account of what I witnessed.
