Iran's Arrest of Majid Tavakoli: "Khamenei in Hejab/We Are All Majids"

The case of student leader Majid Tavakoli, arrested on 16 Azar, has now caught the attention of the international press, with a summary blog in The New York Times. It is also being used by activists not only to highlight the Green movement's political views but, using the catalyst of the authorities' display of Tavakoli dressed as a woman, to poke fun at the regime but to express mass support.

Gordab has produced a series of photographs featuring the Supreme Leader (example in inset box). Dressing in hijab has been converted in the video "We Are All Majids" into solidarity, defiance, and proclamation of "Azadi" (freedom):
