Meet ‘Morticia Addams’, the woman who first set Khamenei’s photo on fire and started a movement
A viral image of a woman lighting a cigarette with a burning photo of Iran’s Supreme Leader, believed to be from Iran, was actually filmed in Canada by an Iranian refugee known as 'Morticia Addams'. The video became a symbol of Iran’s protests, inspiring similar acts worldwide and gaining attention from public figures like JK Rowling. The woman behind the video fled Iran after repeated arrests and now fears for her family's safety amid the ongoing crackdown on dissent.
