    Iran, such a innocent country, the regime, victims of the evil west…

    When I read the title I just imagined how society there is stuck in the medieval ages… just a sad state of affairs…

    As others have mentioned, others get far worse, being hung from cranes on a daily bases, most of them Kurds for seeking their freedoms.

      Yeah it’s all the west’s fault

      Give me a fucking break, the west isn’t responsible for them treating women like literal trash for hundreds of years

      Can Iran not be a victim of the west but also wrong in their treatment of women?
      Society isn’t stuck in the medieval ages there. It’s cruel, sure. But they have phones, coffee and automatic weapons just like everyone else, so they’re firmly in the same age as everyone else.
      This woman is using her privilege as a prominent(ish) figure to highlight the injustices prevalent in Iran, so she’s unlikely to get the worse punishments you’ve mentioned. I say fair play to her and I hope more people get to speak out.
      Sadly, though, history tells us that dictators can do whatever the fuck they like to their own people with no repercussions.
