The New York Post reported on August 29 of this year that Iranian feminist Saba Kord Afshari, 20 years old, to 24 years in prison.



She received 15 years for "spreading corruption and prostitution by taking off her hijab and walking without a veil." The remaining nine years were added because she had been arrested for the same crime before and because she supposedly was "spreading propaganda against the state."

Iran has cracked down on women's protests after a movement started called "White Wednesday" in which women remove their compulsory hijabs briefly. Her mother, and other feminists - Shima Babail, Mojgan Lali and Shaghayegh Mahaki were arrested in July at about the same time as Afshari.

On August 9th, Amnesty International reported that two Iranian activists - Yasaman Aryani and Monireh Arabshabi had been sentenced to 16 years in prison each for "inciting and facilitating corruption and prostitution" by removing their hijabs in public, and for "spreading propaganda against the system." At the same time, Mojgan Keshavarz was sentenced to 23 years and six months on the same charges.




So, where are the western feminist activists?

Shouldn't they defend them?

Shouldn't they create massive, global and worldwide # campaigns? Shouldn't they mobilize and demonstrate? Shouldn't they make calls on social medias?
 
A Iranian female feminist activist, known as the Blue Girl, recently died:



Meanwhile, western feminists are working on more pressing issues:

Interesting, as the head covering seems to just be the trigger, several say to the clerics' you have ruined this country for 40 years'.

I suspect the shipment of drones to Russia is going to dry up pretty quick, and Russia wont be able to back the Iranian regime with ammo or ak's.

Topher Richwhite and Bridget Thackwray, who have been documenting a round-the-world roadtrip dubbed "Expedition Earth" on Instagram, were missing in Iran since July 2022.

Couple of trust fund babies got lost in Iran for a couple of months. Funny thing is they are travel influencers on Intsagram and were kidnapped by the Ayatollah.
Bright move eh.
NZ ministry of foreign affairs says it has no idea why they were kidnapped... gee I dunno to influnce NZ govt maybe?
Taxcindy has been awful quite on recent protests. Not that she criticizes much that would imperil her future UN career.
Banning citizens rights to self defence and freedom of speech is her usual bag so maybe she gets on well with the Ayatollah.

Russian are apparently trying to train the Iranian police over how to control its population

The game is over once you see the Mullah's fleeing to Paris or London with all their ill-gotten gains

Just hope this is the end for the current Iranian regime - but I fear it is not
 
Too bad America isn't there to support them.

Good point, but wait on the Mullah and the Ayatollah to blame it on Murica and Israel.

Wait, they’ve already done that.

That’s where Putin latest speech today is aiming at. A bipolar world. Putin has long chosen his side and camp: to support terrorism and declare war on the West via Ukraine.
