On February 5th, Mona Heydari, a 17-year-old girl, was beheaded by her husband. Mona was forced to marry her cousin at the age of 12. Her 3-year-old son survives her. Previously, she had escaped her husband’s harassment and abuse by fleeing to Turkey. Eventually, she was brought back to Iran to be with her husband, with the help of her father. After beheading her, the husband paraded around the town square with her head in one hand and a knife in the other. Photos of him walking around with the decapitated head in his hand went viral on social media. After getting notified about the incident, police immediately began a search operation and arrested the man a few hours later. The incident has sparked outrage and a call for Iran to enact better laws to protect women. Abbas Abdi, a journalist in Iran, attacked conservative news outlets ignoring the incident. In a 2020 report from The Lancet, there were 8,000 reported honor killings in Iran between 2010 and 2014. The same report also stated that domestic violence incidents have increased during pandemic lockdowns.
