The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) will hold its first hearing on Mahsa Amini protests in police custody which triggered widespread protests across Iran against the Islamist regime. In an attempt to mock the human rights body for holding, the Islamic Republic held an exhibition on “Thousands of Stories on Iranian Clothing” portraying traditional clothes on headless mannequins in the very same building where the hearing is supposed to take place.
