On Wednesday, thousands of Iranian protesters made their way to Mahsa Amini’s hometown Saqqez to pay tribute to her at the end of the traditional 40-day mourning period. Iranian police forces reportedly shot tear gas and opened fire, but little could deter the people who are leading what is being considered as the biggest Iranian protest since 2009. As an Iranian woman, Bollywood actor Elnaaz Norouzi says she is amazed at the strength and bravery of those who are challenging the Islamic republic.
