Maryam Rajavi’s condolences on the loss of Armita Garavand

I offer my sincere condolences for the loss of Armita Garavand. Once again, the religious fascism ruling Iran has taken an innocent girl from us under the bogus excuse of improper veiling.

The repressive forces aim to prevent people’s uprising and protest by besieging the hospital and employing oppressive measures. Yet, they are unaware that the people, especially the youth of Iran, as well as my fellow Iranian girls and women, remain determined to overthrow the mullahs’ regime and replace it with democracy and people’s sovereignty.”

The inhumane and misogynistic policies and practices of the mullahs’ regime against women have nothing to do with Islam and the Quran and are only a means to continue the disgraceful rule of the Velayat-e Faqih regime. No to compulsory religion, no to compulsory government, and no to compulsory hijab.”
