Iran is facing the first-ever women’s revolution in its history, started by the death of Mahsa Amini on September 16th, 2022. Since then, people in Iran have shown tremendous bravery, risking their lives on the streets, fighting their violent dictatorial regime, and seeking basic human rights and freedom. By now, the regime has responded to the protesters with pure cruelty. Thousands have been arrested or killed, disappeared having critical medical conditions, brutally tortured in jails, and sentenced to the death penalty without any court cases or support from international organizations. A nation of 8 million citizens & over 4,000 years of history needs our international support right now.
