Iranian model, Mahlagha Jaberi, draws outrage for noose dress to raise awareness for Iran executions

Iranian model, Mahlagha Jaberi, draws outrage for noose dress to raise awareness for Iran executions.

Leftist journalist Yashar Ali criticized Jaberi for the video, which he called “disgraceful.”

“As innocent Iranians are being executed, @MahlaghaJaberi thought it would be a good idea to wear a dress that has a noose sown into it and then film a seductive video using a song that has become an anthem for protestors. Absolutely disgraceful all around. And then to end the video with ‘stop executions’ and no other context or information makes it unhelpful!”

Hudson Institute senior fellow Michael Doran said that Jaberi’s dress was an “eye catching” form of “protest.”

An Iranian-born model, Mahlagha Jaberi, is dividing the internet after she wore a dress that resembled a noose to raise awareness for a string of executions in Iran. 

Jaberi, who is 33-years-old, posted a video to her Instagram that she “[d]edicated to the people of Iran” after making an appearance at the Cannes Film Festival. She shared the video with the hashtag, “#StopExecutionsInIran.”

Iran has executed multiple citizens by hangings in recent weeks, despite condemnations from the Biden administration and an admonition “not carry out these executions.” 

The country has carried out at least 90 executions in the last 18 days, marking May as the “bloodiest month” in the nation over the last five years, according to the Norway-based Iran Human Rights group. 

Jaberi’s video and outfit choice is going viral online, with journalists, political commentators and government officials either praising or blasting the model for her protest video.
