"60 Minutes Explores the Hijab Debate Among Journalists"

In a recent interview on 60 Minutes, Iranian activist Masih Alinejad criticized correspondent Lesley Stahl for wearing a headscarf during her interview with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, stating that it legitimizes Iran's compulsory veiling laws. Alinejad argued that journalists should give a platform to women in Iran and hear their perspectives. Stahl defended her decision, explaining that she wanted to conduct the interview and bring it back to 60 Minutes, despite her opposition to the hijab. The debate highlights the challenges faced by journalists covering sensitive topics in countries with oppressive regimes.
