6月24日，在充滿爭議的伊朗總統選舉之後，婦女們在德黑蘭一棟建物的屋頂上吶喊著，以表達心中的不滿。雖然6月12日的大選結果顯示現任元首艾馬丹加以懸殊的差距擊敗反對黨候選人默沙維，但對選舉舞弊的指控仍甚囂塵上。選舉落幕後數週，街頭發生暴力示威遊行。到了夜晚，返回家中的民眾則將抗議的場景轉移到自家的窗台、陽台和屋頂。其實這種類似的夜間吶喊抗議在伊朗已有前例，那是在1979年推翻了王室的伊斯蘭革命時期。

Women shout their dissent from a Tehran rooftop on 24 June, following Iran’s disputed presidential election. The result of the 12 June ballot proclaimed an overwhelming victory for President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad over opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, but there were allegations of vote-rigging. In the weeks following the election, violent demonstrations took place in the streets. At night, people continued their protest from windows, balconies and rooftops. Their cries echoed similar nighttime protests, last heard during the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which led to the overthrow of the Shah.
