Editorial: Liberation

  • September 16 marks two years since Mahsa Amini's death at the hands of Iran's police for violating dress codes.
  • The first year after this was characterized by the 'Woman, Life, Liberty' movement and significant insurgency of the youth and women's movement.
  • Significant state repression and an attempt to stifle protest voices were observed.
  • The second year was marked by a feeling of resignation, and the election of a new, seemingly more moderate president did not change the situation.
  • Humanitarian conditions have significantly worsened, with severe human rights violations including over 500 deaths at the hands of security forces.
  • Despite everything, resistance persists, particularly among the youth.
  • Generation Z continues to defy norms, using social networks to express themselves, and exiles continue to speak up.

Conclusion: The fight for freedom and human rights in Iran continues unabated, despite state repression and difficult conditions.
