Systematic violence and arbitrary killing of women and girls will not stop Iran Protests
Show Notes

State-backed violence against schoolgirls in Iran is occurring, too often. Now that the girls are resisting being forced into taking part in pro-regime ceremonies, they are beaten in school premises, arrested, and tortured to death in detention. 

Although it seems to be sheer madness, but this is the true nature of the Iranian regime. 

In just the past couple of days, parents have rushed to different high schools to save their young daughters’ lives.

Students of Sadr high school in Tehran experienced an insulting and brutal inspection on October 24. The plan was to take away the girls’ mobile phones. One girl fainted after she was beaten by the principal.

Two weeks ago in Ardabil, 15-year-old Asra Panahi lost her life due to internal bleeding after plainclothes agents attacked the Shahed high school. She was among the students brutalized for refusing to participate in a pro-regime ceremony.
