Mahsa Amini’s Tragic Ordeal in Egypt
Enrique Piñeyro, an Italian actor and director, recently made headlines when he announced that he had to delete the visual of Mahsa Amini on the tail of his private plane. Piñeyro, who had expressed his desire to carry aid from El Arish to Gaza, shared a video of the moments on social media, along with a powerful message condemning the treatment of women in Iran.
In his social media post, Piñeyro stated, “No woman should be killed for having her head uncovered, no one should be hanged for saying these things.” This statement comes in the wake of the tragic death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was detained by the morality police in Iran for not complying with hijab rules and died three days later. Her death sparked months of protests and violence in Iran.
Piñeyro also revealed that the Egyptian government did not allow the livery with the photo of Mahsa Amini and the powerful message to be flown as part of the humanitarian cargo to El Arish for Gaza. The message on the plane read, “No woman should be killed for not covering her head. No man should be hanged for saying this.”
The actor’s actions and words have brought attention to the plight of women in Iran and the oppressive treatment they face for not adhering to strict dress codes. Piñeyro’s refusal to remain silent on this issue has sparked important conversations and shed light on the need for change and progress in how women are treated in Iran and around the world.
It is clear that Piñeyro’s activism and advocacy for women’s rights will continue to make an impact and inspire others to speak out against injustice and oppression. His actions serve as a reminder of the power of using one’s platform to advocate for positive change and equality for all.
