Oh Someone At The Guardian Has Lost The Will To Live

Iranian plainclothes forces have abducted Dariush Farhoud, an 85-year-old professor of medical and clinical genetics known as the father of Iran’s genetics.

According to reports, Farhoud was arrested by the security forces at his home Sunday morning, and there has been no information about where and why he was taken.

The renowned scientist had earlier criticized the Islamic Republic for its violation of women’s rights. Earlier this year, Farhoud criticized the regime’s plans to ban pre-natal screening and legal abortions, describing them as violations of human rights. He called them a backward move to 200 years ago.

The government’s population and family planning policies include a ban on contraceptives, vasectomy and tubectomy, and prenatal screening for genetic abnormalities and congenital diseases.

Moreover, the Islamic Republic has passed legislation to outlaw tubectomy, vasectomy, and the free dispensation of contraceptives other than where pregnancy would threaten a woman’s health. The health ministry has advised women over 35 to wait only a year before becoming pregnant again and under-35s to wait six months.

The new legislation would also increase sexually transmitted diseases by restricting access to condoms.

Please help our voices be heard!!

whenever i see a cishet male tf fan being a shithead about something i go reread the ruined forever twiki article bc it never fails to make me laugh

here's a little news: they've cut off our internet connection like they did 3 years ago when the entire Bloody Aban situation was going on, and I'm one of the few lucky people with a tiny bit of access to come on here and literally BEG you to spread the word. people are on the streets getting killed. a 10 year old girl was shot, several teens are dead. women are being shamelessly fucking beaten (in Mahsa's case, to DEATH) by the same people who cry over historic islamic women being tortured or misbehaved a thousand years ago. do not stay silent.

Please, it doesn't matter if you're Iranian or American, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, atheist, black, brown or white, man, woman or whatever gender, if you usually blog about kpop, Supernatural or ABO fanfic.

Spread the word! Pay attention! Raise your voice!

The world needs to know what's going on in Iran!

Be the voice of people who don't have a voice. That's all that matters!

people agree with like every criticism of capitalism until you actually use the word "capitalism"
