You know you are doing the right thing when your enemy is, checks notes, a teenage girl. Iranian junta do everything to embarass itself and the religion of Islam. I want people of Iran to take the power back and show what’s it to be an iranian.
They don’t care about right or wrong. They care about power and control, and if you aren’t willing to be a “man of the people” to get the control, you seize it by force and fear.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The image of protester Sonia Sharifi standing on top of a car with her hands in the air became a symbol of defiance in the face of an increasingly violent crackdown against demonstrations sweeping Iran in December last year.
Hengaw, a group that monitors human rights violations in Iran, says the 17-year-old suffered multiple injuries and was “left alone in one of the streets of Abdanan after being threatened, interrogated, and tortured for more than two hours”.
The country’s notorious Revolutionary Guards previously accused “hostile media” of “lying” about Sonia’s arrest in December, but so far have not commented on what the teenager says happened to her on Wednesday.
The attack on Sonia comes about a month before the one-year anniversary of the death of Mahsa Amini, the Kurdish-Iranian woman who died in police custody - triggering a huge protest movement.
This is despite an independent international fact-finding mission on the Islamic Republic of Iran urging the Iranian government to “end its continuing crackdown on peaceful protesters” in a report submitted in July.
