Mahsa Amini's death must not be ignored!

Stimați colegi, aceasta este Mahsa Amini.
Avea 22 de ani.
A murit în celulele Gardienilor Moralității din Iran. A intrat în comă la câteva zile după ce a fost reținută pentru că îi ieșeau niște șuvițe de păr de sub hijab.
Este zguduitor. Este zguduitor că o astfel de crimă este săvârșită în numele moralității.
Unde este moralitatea ca o femeie să fie ucisă pentru că îi ieșeau câteva șuvițe de sub acoperământ? Poate exista o astfel de moralitate?

Of these, more than 1 million have been imprisoned or held in detention or re-education centres, subjected to forced labour or forced to accept restrictive living and housing conditions.
