Marziyeh Amirizadeh describes the horrors of Iran’s Evin Prison, where prisoners are brutally tortured, raped, and deprived of basic human rights. To save herself from a death sentence all she had to do was deny her faith, but she refused.
Another young girl, Zahra Hatami, recently committed suicide after being expelled from school for the “crime” of wearing nail polish. She threw herself from the top of a building near her school, unable to cope with Iran’s gender apartheid. She was in 8th grade. The Biden administration did not execute these women, but has blood on its hands all the same, having enabled and emboldened the Iranian regime rather than resisting it.
