Anti - government protester Majid Tavakoli recently died . Iranian news agency then published picture of Tavakoli dressed in a suit . Government officials said the picture was doctored and meant to humiliate him . Though many question the authenticity of the picture , state media at the time used it as evidence that Banisadr attempted to escape the country in a `` cowardly '' way after his ouster in 1981 . To show solidarity , Iranian men post pictures of themselves with head scarves on Facebook .
