  • It is incredible that this behaviour is allowed to continue; all power to the women who simply want their rights acknowledged and a boo to the guys who don't want to do that

  • They have been persecuted for 3 years. Time for that to stop.

  • The situation in Iran is quite worrying. I agree with Alex. Let's take action and help these incredibly brave people!

  • I think that these women are incredible. It takes a lot to challenge an opressive system such as the one described in the article. I wish them all the luck in the world and they will always have my full support. Lets take action and help ! xxx
