Journalist Masih Alinejad receives Oxi Courage Award for her fight against Iran’s compulsory hijab law

New Delhi: Journalist Masih Alinejad has always been vocal against Iran’s compulsory hijab law despite not being able to visit the Islamic Republic for over a decade.

Masih received the Oxi Courage Award. The event was also attended virtually by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Masih said, “I didn’t accept the Oxi Courage Award to say “No to the Islamic Republic.” Iranians do that by chanting “Death to the Dictator” in the streets of Iran. I accepted it to say “No” to the western countries who still recognize the legitimacy of this regime.”
