When Iranian journalist Nazila Maroofian was released from Tehran's Evin prison on August 13 after more than a month behind bars, she posted on social media a picture of herself without a headscarf and the slogan "Don't accept slavery, you deserve the best!"
Maroofian was promptly re-arrested and thrown in prison again, but the journalist, who is said to be 23 years old, was then freed on August 16.
"Do you regret the photo you posted when you were released? Do you admit you made a mistake?" she asked herself in a new social media post.
"No, I didn't do anything wrong," the young woman added in reply, posting another picture of herself bareheaded with her right arm stretched up in a 'V' for victory sign.
