"I'm cutting my hair because many of my sisters in Iran are going to die, maybe tomorrow, because of hijab, and I don't want it, and I hate it, and I don't want to follow this terrorist and dictator regime. And I'm here to support my people because they don't have (a) voice, they don't have journalists to speak up about them."
Iran's state television said more than 40 people have been killed since the protests broke out.
