Iranian Regime Escalates Hiijab Mandate Through Sexual Violence and Beatings of Women

As the usual Hamas-huggers continue to have a melt down because someone brought up the fact that women in Iran are abused for not being Muslim enough by not wearing the hijab, and those Hamas huggers engage in hyperbole and ad hominem attacks and distraction attempts ... we have the actual indisputable facts that Iran, which was once coming along nicely and modernizing, is slipping more and more into the backwards mess that is Islamic totalitarianism. Women and girls are beaten and raped if they don't wear the hijab, and it's sanctioned by the Iranian government. Not only that, they can't get an education if they don't wear it, and even that education is stymied because they aren't allowed to take the courses that will get them a degree and make them self sufficient.


Vital Voices - Iran Regime Crackdown on Womens Rights

The Iran regime is continuing its unrelenting crackdown on women’s rights, declaring in a recent statement that it will deny services to students in schools and university who do not wear head scarfs or adhere to restrictive dress codes.

This policy announcement from the Iranian Ministry of Education is the latest effort by the government in its months-long systematic and often violent campaign to silence the voice of women and deny their fundamental human rights.

In Iran, schools are segregated by gender. Girls are taught curriculums, including a selective focus on arts and humanities, meant to reinforce the belief that they are physically and cognitively weaker than boys, according to reports from women leaders on the ground in the Vital Voices Global Network. Boys, in turn, are taught science, technology, math, and sports to bolster the sense that they are physically stronger, and intellectually superior. These practices are meant to further enshrine the state’s version of sharia, or religious law.

Vital Voices has joined the global effort end gender apartheid in Iran and for women and girls who live under the oppressive regimes of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Afghanistan.

The Biden administration set women's rights back 500 years in Afghanistan.

Give it another 10 - 15 years and we'll be seeing the same things in the UK, Canada, and Michigan.

If we make it that far.

“Fe male prisoners who are virgins must be raped before execution, to prevent them from entering heaven.”

Excerpts of Montazeri’s book on the rape of women in the Iranian regime’s prisons:

In December 2000, Hossein Ali-Montazeri, a 79-year-old cleric who had been for 10 years the designated successor to Khomeini, the supreme leader of the theocratic regime in Iran, published his memoirs.

The book revealed shocking documents on the atrocities committed by the clerical regime, none as horrendous as the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in 1988 on the orders of Khomeini. Montazeri’s book does possess a unique legal and political value, however, in that he reveals, for the first time, some key documents on the way the massacre began and was conducted. Most important among the documents is the text of Khomeini’s fatwa – religious edict that in clergy-ruled Iran has the force of law – ordering the massacre of all political prisoners.

In effect, he acknowledges that the rape of girls in the mullahs’ prisons was a widespread and systematic practice. He writes: “many of those who were being arrested in connection with the PMOI were girls and they were executing them on charges of waging war on God… I told the judiciary officials and Evin officials and orthers, quoting the Imam, that they must not execute girls from the PMOI. I told judges not to write death sentences for girls. This is what I said. But then perverted my words” and quoted me as saying: “Don’t execute girls. First married them for one night and then execute them.” This is a clear acknowledgment that girls in prisons were being systematically raped by the guards and torturers. The sexual assault on prisoners was not confined to girls; from teenagers to aging women, all female prisoners were constantly exposed to the savage treatment. Many women prisoners became insane as a result of being raped by the guards. Crime against Humanity – National Council of Resistance of Iran Foreign Affairs Committee – 2001

I tell you what this is the kind of thing I support America getting involved in. Yes religious autonomy is important and I'm not gonna dog on Islam whatsoever but does Islam tell these people to do this stuff? Its just tyrannical men. I suppose unfortunately the people can't really do much about it themselves or don't think they can. Of course I'm sure Iran doesn't care about US opinion whatsoever. So im not sure WHAT we could do, but this is what we should be about if we are gonna get involved with other countries and send other countries billions of dollars. This. Helping improve someone's life. Women are out here getting assaulted for not wearing a scarf and thats OK? No. It is not thank you.

This type of thing and actually helping these emaciated little kids with the flies flying around them in the poorer countries. Thats who we should be getting involved with. Oh yeah I know, Monsanto and Gates are helping them. Nevermind. TPTB don't actually want to do anything positive. They want to constantly fund and foment war and conflict everywhere across the world. Can't improve anything. Which makes me wonder, what the hell are we paying these people for?

lol it’s not Islam in your opinion but toxic masculinity.

Lol, just lol nothing more can possibly sum up how I feel about your point of view.

Ironic as hell that Western leftists think Iran is the good guy over there.

I don’t think any significant number of people think Iran is the “good guy”.

I think there’s a question on if we need to get involved.

Same rhetoric was used in 03’ for people who were skeptical of war. They were unpatriotic and sympathizers.

In Iran, women can be prosecuted for reporting rape.

Human Rights Watch

Attempts to hold sexual harassment offenders accountable through the judiciary have proven to be difficult in various legal systems, but in some countries, including Iran, women can face criminal charges for reporting rape. Iran's legal system criminalises consensual sexual relationships outside of marriage, which are punishable by flogging, so a victim risks being prosecuted if the authorities do not believe her. This is especially the case if there is a pre-existing relationship or the authorities construe any form of behaviour leading up to the assault as providing consent.

Moreover, the criminal law explicitly excludes marital rape, and has a limited and problematic definition of rape that includes sexual intercourse outside of marriage between a man and a woman, including adultery or fornication, instead of a broader gender-neutral definition to include other forms of penetration without consent or in coercive circumstances.

In addition, in practice, law enforcement, prosecutors and judges in Iran expect high evidentiary standards to prove coercion, such as bodily harm or attempts to flee. To make matters worse, the mandatory punishment for rape, called "forced zina" under Iranian law, is the death penalty. These legal restrictions, combined with patriarchal social norms, make seeking justice a heavy burden on victims, to the point that many would prefer to not file complaints.
