The marathon was held on the island of Kish on Friday morning, with 5,200 men and women participating in two separate sections. The presence of women without the mandatory hijab in the race has angered the government.

These scenes and moments warm the hearts of every Iranian. #Kish_Marathon

Despite the opposition of the two federations and the efforts to cancel the second marathon in Kish Island, thousands of women participated in the race in voluntary clothing.

Thousands of women participated in the competition without the compulsory hijab and in optional clothing, turning the sporting event into a referendum against the akhund and the Islamic Republic.

Let us draw lines and signs for these women and appoint a deadline to wear the hijab, which is the symbol of the most corrupt and criminal government in Iranian history.

You don't want to be another friend of these women.

Wheel to wheel.

A new bill proposed by the government of the Canadian province of Quebec has sparked widespread criticism after it included a ban on prayer and face coverings in public institutions, as well as a prohibition on religious symbols in places such as universities, parks, and streets.

The bill, introduced by the Coalition Avenir Québec government, imposes fines of up to approximately $820 on violators and aims to expand the ban, in place since 2019, to include childcare centers, private schools, and higher education institutions. It also completely prohibits face coverings for all individuals within these facilities and includes restrictions on the provision of halal and kosher meals in public institutions. The Quebec government justified this move by claiming that “public institutions are not temples or churches.”

Religious and human rights organizations have warned against the law, asserting that it represents a “radical infringement” on freedoms and specifically targets Muslims. The National Council of Canadian Muslims described the move as “politically opportunistic,” while the Quebec Bishops' Conference indicated that the law would constitute a “flagrant violation” of freedoms. The bill is based on the “exception” clause in the Canadian Constitution, which makes it immune from constitutional challenges.
