The Daily Show: Christiane Amanpour on Refusing to Wear Headscarf For Iran's President

[Rhiannon12866]

"I was not in that moment, as a journalist or a woman, going to put a head scarf on and somehow bind myself." CNN Chief International Anchor Christiane Amanpour discusses the recent protests in Iran following the death of a 22 year-old woman who was detained by the morality police for showing her hair, the qualms Iranian women have with the government and how the people of Iran want a democracy.
