A statement from Amnesty International about Iran, which they have researched extensively, reads:

"Thousands of people were interrogated, unfairly prosecuted and/or arbitrarily detained solely for peacefully exercising their human rights, and hundreds remain unjustly imprisoned. Security forces unlawfully used lethal force and birdshot to crush protests. Women, LGBTI people and ethnic and religious minorities faced entrenched discrimination and violence. Legislative developments further undermined sexual and reproductive rights, the right to freedom of religion and belief, and access to the internet. Torture and other ill-treatment, including denying prisoners adequate medical care, remain widespread and systematic. Judicial punishments of floggings, amputations and blinding were imposed. The death penalty was used widely, including as a weapon of repression. Executions were carried out after unfair trials. Systemic impunity prevailed for past and ongoing crimes against humanity related to prison massacres and other crimes under international law."

Thus, as an international community, we KNOW what goes on Iran, en masse. But today, we are going to hear second hand stories from an Iranian woman herself, to put names to these senseless acts of cruelty, and crimes against humanity, and clarify further, what exactly is going on in Iran.
