Another brave female anti-hijab protester has been arrested in Iran after waving her headscarf from a stick.

Footage shows Shaparak Shajarizadeh standing on a traffic island in the Iranian capital Tehran and waving her headscarf around on the end of a stick.

But she then became the latest activist to be arrested as the regime continues to crack down on defiant women who pose with their heads uncovered.

The veil has been a mandatory dress requirement for women in Iran since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

Some of the clips have appeared on the Twitter account My Stealthy Freedom, set up by journalist Masih Alinejad.

She took to Twitter this week to reveal Shajarizadeh's arrest for protesting against 'forced hijab'.

Since the 1979 revolution, Iran has required women to wear the Islamic headscarf in public.

The Islamic code also forbids women touching, dancing or singing with men outside their families.

Women are only allowed to show their face, hands and feet in public and are supposed to wear only modest colours.

Over the years, however, women have pushed back the boundaries of the law, with many wearing loose, brightly coloured headscarves far back on their heads.

White Wednesdays activists have increasingly braved filming themselves and posting footage online.

But the videos often reveal the disturbing harassment they endure for going without a headscarf.

In November, footage emerged of women standing up to police and strangers after walking the streets without hijabs.

At one point a female campaigner shouts 'spit out your insults' after being told to cover her head while a second film shows a man threatening to slap a young woman for breaking the law.

Another video showed a father standing up for her daughter after a passer-by ordered her to 'observe hijab'. The father stands his ground and tells the man 'I don't believe that nonsense'.
