London, Aug 1 : Emma Watson recently took to Twitter to share her 'laughing' picture, as part of the recent protest by Turkish women.

The 24-year-old British beauty sided with the ladies who started the ' laughing protest' in defiance of a Turkish deputy prime minister Bulent Arinc, who in a speech for Eid al-Fitr said that women should be "chaste" and "should not laugh in public", the Guardian reported.

Following the comment, thousands of women posted picture s of themselves where they're 'laughing out loud', in order to highlight their rights in the country.

30 minutes after Watson, who's a goodwill ambassador for UN women, and has 13.8m Twitter followers, posted her snap where she's seen outside a pavement restaurant, it was retweeted 2,400 times and favourited 4,500 times. (ANI)
