Her family worries she may not be able to last another three months. Born on May 26, 1968, Fatemeh Mosanna was imprisoned for three years with her mother when she was only 13. They were accused of waging war on God and insurrection by supporting the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). The clerical regime executed three of her brothers and sister-in-law in the 1980s. Earlier in June, four UN Rapporteurs wrote, “We furthermore express serious concern at the confiscation and risk of eviction from their home of Mr. Sadeghi and Ms. Mosanna’s family without due process in accordance with international standards. The seizure of this home would likely put at risk of homelessness the family members, as well as Mr. Sadeghi and Ms. Mosanna themselves, upon their eventual release from prison. Such evictions would be contrary to your government’s obligation to respect, protect and fulfill the right to an adequate standard of living, including housing, as well as the right to non-discrimination and the right to freedom from arbitrary or unlawful interference with one’s privacy, family and home.” https://tinyurl.com/yc3e5xy5

The World Economic Forum has published the 2022 Global Gender Gap Report. Iran, under the rule of Mullahs, is at the bottom of the gender gap index, ranking 143 among 146 countries studied. The main reason for the abysmal ranking is the lack of equal opportunities for women under the misogynous regime. Iceland has the highest world ranking in closing the gender gap. The Global Gender Gap Report examines the evolution of gender equality based on four grounds: participation and economic opportunities, educational progress, health and survival, and political empowerment. https://tinyurl.com/4sc5azp4
