Spit out your insults, come on now!' Iranian women film themselves standing up to men who order them to wear a veil as they walk in the street without hijabs
Footage has emerged of women standing up to police and strangers in Iran after defying laws by walking the streets without hijabs.
Women filmed themselves without veils to capture some of the abuse they face for failing to adhere to Iran's strict religious rules.
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 shows 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'.
