"Annemin hayatı tehlikede!
Ben Figen Yılmaz. Annem Tunceli’nin Hozat ilçesine bağlı bir köyde tek başına yaşıyor. 22 Ocak’ta bir şahıs elinde baltayla annemin evine ve arabasına saldırdı. Bahçenin asma kilidini kırarak içeri girdi, arabayı parçaladı, kameraları kullanılamaz hale getirdi.
Ve sadece 2 aylık bir uzaklaştırma kararı verildi, şu an serbest.
Bir kadın daha katledilmeden şahsın cezalandırılmasını ve annemin korunmasını istiyorum."

Good relations between Azeri and Kurdish parties and leadership in Iran is not only important for jointly fighting for a future democratic Iran, it is also paramount to prevent any Kurdish-Azeri conflict in cites contested between both on one hand, & on the other, to prevent Turkey from creating ethnic issues rift between the two nations.
Damn, who’s going to tweet the regime down once the precious Iranian diaspora, so supportive of deindustrializing Iran through carpet bombing, feel alienated by the idea that Kurds and Baluch might finally get out from under their boots?
No country wages war to liberate women. If that were true, Afghan women would not be trapped under one of the most vile regimes on earth. Afghanistan is the worst place to be a woman, yet no one rises to stand with them, not even Afghan men.
Norse culture had strong ideas about honor, and those ideas reached further than most people expect. Interfering with a woman's hair without consent wasn't just considered rude. Under Scandinavian legal traditions, it could be a punishable offense.
That single legal detail says more about Viking society than most textbooks bother to mention.
Hair in the Norse world was not decorative in the way we tend to think of it now. It was communicative. The way a woman braided her hair, the pins and beads and brooches she wove into it, the specific style she wore for work versus ceremony, all of it carried information that anyone in her community could read at a glance. Status, age, marital situation, family wealth, regional affiliation. A braid was a social document.
Which meant that cutting it against someone's will wasn't just a physical violation. It was an attack on the visible record of who she was. It stripped away the markers that located her in her community and announced her place within it. Norse law recognized this and treated it accordingly.
We tend to think of legal protections as reflecting what a society values. Medieval Scandinavian law valued a woman's right to control how she presented herself to the world seriously enough to codify it. That's worth sitting with.
In Viking society, a braid was never just a braid. It was identity made visible. And the law agreed.
