Iran is experiencing an uprising unprecedented in the number of women in the streets. The uprising started with the tragic passing in September 2022 of Mahsa Amini, who died in police custody after serious beatings. Allegedly she was arrested for "unsuitable attire," meaning some of her hair showed under her hijab. Women are now removing their hijabs and waving them as a flag of resistance. It is a time of destruction, coercive government power, and death. How then should we pray for the people of Iran?
