(Iran International) An Iranian-born artist shredded a copy of Islam’s holy book, the Quran, outside the Iranian embassy in the Danish capital Copenhagen on Saturday.
Firoozeh Bazrafkan, who has staged similar symbolic performances several times in the past, said the deliberate shredding of the Quran was a commentary on the Iranian regime’s hypocritical demand for respect for the holy book while it fails to show any respect for women’s rights.
She dedicated her performance to Iran’s women and men who continue to defy the oppressive regime, and extended her tribute to citizens and politicians worldwide who support the Iranian people’s quest for a dignified life.
