To those who claimed that no woman in Iran has ever been flogged for refusing to wear the hijab: LOOK AT HER BACK. This woman is one of the brave members of my #WhiteWednesdays campaign against compulsory hijab. She sent me this photo of her scarred back after being punished with 74 lashes for the “crime” of showing her hair. Holding a Woman, Life, Freedom slogan, she refused to be silenced. Here is her testimony: “The morality police arrested me for resisting their van. My ‘crime’ was unveiling. After months of court hearings, I was sentenced to 74 lashes. The cleric overseeing the punishment stood there to ensure it was carried out. I won’t give up my fight against this brutal regime, but we are fed up with living as prisoners in our own homeland.” Seventy-four lashes. For showing her hair. In the 21st century. This is barbarism. And you tell me, how is this different from ISIS?

This horrible reality is an absolute nightmare. I remain vexed and deeply puzzled why those who claim to be champions of women's rights are silent.

Flogging in Islamic PATRIARCHY. But we are to TRUST the Mullahs who spent BILLIONS making Falafel Factories under the mountains. Close your eyes you don't want to be called a Islamaphobe

The bizarre actions of the extreme left defending Iran still baffles me. As a human being I hate seeing suffering, as a queer person I don’t sympathize with the religion or the governments there. How are these people defending groups repressing women and queers? Makes no sense.

I feel bad for what she will likely go through now that this has been posted. She is wearing very distinctive clothing that will identify her. And anyone thinking the fuckers who flogged her and the clerics didn't record the whole thing to jack off to later is kidding themselves. I hope she could escape before they see this.

When I was a kid, and one of our friends would tell us not to do something bad, we would always say "what are you? The morality police?" I never thought they were a real thing.

You don’t have neither the credibility nor the popularity among Iranians. You are a reformist, and your time is over! The era of Islamic Republic is over, reformists or hard liners. #JavidShah
