The mullahs’ regime systematically engages in political violence against women in Iran. Female political prisoners are routinely sentenced to long solitary confinements during which they interrogated and tortured.
the international community and prominent human rights organizations must continue to pressure the Iranian regime and hold its members accountable for their crimes and violence against women in Iran.
