Iran, that hellhole where being gay is punishable by death. Women go to jail for speaking out for equal rights, where thug hijab police patrol the streets making sure women's head are covered. That same theocratic government is cynical enough to make this video on the streets of Washington DC, asking women their opinion? In Iran, thanks to Sharia law, a woman's testimony is worth half of a man's in court.

Yesterday, the government forced a jailed woman artist & political prisoner to take a "virginity test". http://www.middleeasteye.net/news/amnesty-slams-iran-over-virginity-test-jailed-painter-1608442466

Yeah, fuck PressTV & the gov't of Iran and that hilariously-biased cherry-picking fake-news video.
