The Women's Committee of NCRI(National Council of Resistance of Iran), in a statement April 11, called on women and men of Iran to stand up against the new round of repression of women by the misogynistic regime at the behest of Ali Khamenei, regime's supreme leader. The statement reads: Ali Khamenei increasingly relies on repression and suppression due to the setbacks his regime has faced from all sides. On Wednesday, April 10, during his Eid al-Fitr sermon, he cautioned the regime’s apparatuses, agents, and functionaries against “falling short” in countering “religious norm-breaking” and explicitly commanded: “Officials, the people, and those who promote good and forbid evil must all carry out their duties in this regard.” It is evident that women are the primary targets of this new phase of repression... We also call on international bodies, especially the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women, to condemn the compulsory hijab and the misogynistic actions of the mullahs’ regime in this regard.
