Feminists of the World Unite

Here is a bit that didn't get much play when it came out about a week ago:

Hundreds of Iranian students gathered at the occasion of the official and governmentally sponsored "Students' Day", at the Tehran Technical University's amphitheater, in order to denounce the persistent repression in Iran and to request freedom. Thousands more gathered in the campus and in front of the university's doors.

The protest action was made despite heavy security presence.

Slogans were shouted against the regime and its leaders during officials speeches, such as, the one made by Mohammad Khatami. "Freedom, Freedom!", "Enough lies", "Shame on you!", "Student is Angry, It's Rejecting Khatami!" were heard at several occasion forcing an angry and often threatening Khatami and other official speakers to cut each time their speeches.

Now here is where the feminists should come in:

Several female students protested against the mandatory veil, one of the basis of the regime's gender apartheid, by carrying placards condemning the chador and showing it as a prison for women (see attached pictures).

Where are our feminist friends supporting their sisters? Against gender apartheid in Iran?
