Iran: women prisoners released
They demand for free choice in the use of the veil and are severely punished by the regime. The fourth wave feminism has different rhythms and characteristics in each country, but exceeds all boundaries, one Iranian. He 8 Last March three women activists sang and laid flowers in the Tehran metro to defend the right choice on the use of hiyab (Islamic veil).
This public and peaceful action was spread by internet, after which the activists were arrested. They were accused of acting against national security, of propaganda against the state and "Encourage and perpetrating moral corruption and prostitution". There was not even a fair trial because "They had no access to a lawyer at the initial stage of the investigation and their legal representatives were forbidden to represent their judgment".
They are outrageous violations of basic rights, democratic, of expression and gender equality, caused by a theological reactionary state headed by Supreme Leader.
Thus, he 31 July received sentence: a Yasaman Aryani y Monireh Arabshahi, They condemned the 16 years in prison and a Mojgan Keshavarz 23 years and six months. They are not the only persecuted, according to UN reports, since January 2018 They were arrested, As minimum, 32 advocates of women and ten others have received prison sentences for promoting the free choice of the veil.
Lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh was sentenced to 38 years imprisonment and 148 lashes for exercising his work as an advocate for the rights of women protesting the imposition of the veil; which led to a Amnesty International's campaign. In the year 2018, 29 women were imprisoned for participating in the "Wednesday Blancos". And the claims about the veil are not new, have several chapters in Iranian history. Women's rights are crushed to such an extent that, just to take an example, There were women arrested for attending to watch a football match. They are outrageous violations of basic rights, democratic, of expression and gender equality, caused by a theological reactionary state headed by Supreme Leader.
This positioning is accompanied by a rejection of the policy of US imperialism and the European. Yankees act politically and economically against the Iranian people. I harass, undergo the blockages, sanctions and war threats. They are the world's engine of Islamophobia. The EU bloc develops a cynical anti-Islamist cultural and political campaign that is on the basis of their security measures and immigration ani reactionary.
Rights should not have borders. So you have to demand the freedom to choose whether or not used the veil in Iran and we must also do in Europe, where there are countries that enacted laws prohibiting burka (Burqa the whole face, with a grid at eye level) one he niqab (just leave it the eyes).
Rights should not have borders. So you have to demand the freedom to choose whether or not used the veil in Iran and we must also do in Europe…
In both cases the injured are women and girls who can not decide what to wear and what not to use. They are subjected to the will of the state, whether religious beliefs or the "Muslim threat". It is paradoxical to think that the same woman accused of "Acting against national security" for not wearing the veil, It can also be penalized by use, agree that it is in Tehran and Paris.
If they touch a, play all. Because, we join the claim of different organisms, feminist groups and other expressions that demand the immediate release of detained activists claim the free choice of the veil. We demand the cancellation of the judicial process and the end of the persecution of those who think differently or autocratic bourgeois power. We must face the oppression and exploitation of women, fighting side by side with the working class, until patriarchy and capitalism fall together.
