CNN is reporting allegations that Iranian authorities are doing sexual violence to protestors outraged over Mahsa Amini’s death. I’ll let you read the story and watch the following video for yourself, the details are too sickening for me to write about.

Here is a response to CNN’s exposé.

This report describes unspeakable acts of sexual violence by Iranian officials in detention centers. It’s a reminder of what is at stake for the Iranian people - and of the lengths to which the regime will go in its futile attempt to silence dissent. https://t.co/P1Q8BqyCEq

These allegations of Iranian authorities sexually assaulting protestors are allegations of a crime against humanity. We need to gather outside Iranian diplomatic outposts with signs condemning the regime.
