“The Iranian authorities marked International Women’s Day by attacking hundreds of people who had peacefully assembled to honor women’s rights,” said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. “Once again, Iran’s government has signaled that it is ready to use violence to suppress peaceful public assembly of any sort.”
I suppose when you consider Nazanin, the woman who has been sentenced to death by the Iranian government for defending yourself during the attempted commission of a rape (of her and her niece) though these women might consider themselves fortunate. Such is life in Iran.
