Maeve Higgins: Brave Iranian protestors must feel they have nothing to lose

Members of the Iranian community and their supporters rally in solidarity with protesters in Iran, after 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in police custody for allegedly improperly wearing a hijab.

At Tehran University in 1979, students hung a banner in Farsi that translates as "the measure of a free society is the measure of women's freedom in that society." 

If that is true, and I think it is, then 43 years later, no Iranians are free.
