The Murder of Mahsa Amini Under the custody of moral Police caused a wave of protests against the mandatory hijab in Iran. The protests started with women's demands in the street and cyberspace under the feminist hashtag#Womanlifefreedom. The issue of the veil and women's control over their bodies has always been a subject of political controversy in the history of Iran. By re-veiling women and intensifying Islamic values, the Islamic regime has made the veil a symbol and the veiled woman image of an Islamic country, the legitimacy of the Islamic Republic. This study is a discourse analysis of the feminist hashtag in a none democratic context. With empirical research, this study sheds light on users who use a feminist hashtag to strengthen or disrupt a feminist movement in Iran. This study, regarding"the Politics of the Veil," argues that users on Twitter challenge the politics of the veil in Iran by blurring boundaries between public and private spheres under #Womanlifefreedom. Also, through "The Cultural Politics of the Emotions," this study conceptualized by Sara Ahmed argues that politicized emotions limit the construction of internal solidarity under#Womanlifefreedom in Iran. / -
