Another brave female anti-hijab protester has been arrested in Iran after waving her headscarf from a stick. 

Footage shows Shaparak Shajarizadeh standing on a traffic island in the Iranian capital Tehran and waving her headscarf around on the end of a stick.

But she then became the latest activist to be arrested as the regime continues to crack down on defiant women who pose with their heads uncovered.

The veil has been a mandatory dress requirement for women in Iran since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

But a movement called White Wednesdays sees women flouting the regulations by capturing footage and pictures of themselves without their hijabs and posting it online.

The videos often capture some of the abuse they face for failing to adhere to Iran's strict religious rules.
