♦️Ms. Roya heshmati's narrative unveils the challenges faced by Iranian women in their fight for human rights against a tyrannical regime. In her account of enduring 74 lashes for rejecting mandatory hijab, she recounts a defiant stance at the courthouse, where she refused to wear the hijab and faced brutal punishment in a medieval-like chamber. Despite the judge suggesting leaving the country for a different life, she remained steadfast, emphasizing their commitment to resistance against an oppressive system.

Meanwhile, during the peak of the protests, for most of the injured, the Islamic government's response was to use ambulances to transfer protesters directly to detention centers instead of hospitals.

• Additionally, medical staff were threatened and arrested for providing help to injured protesters, and guards were stationed at hospital entrances to record the names of people arriving with protest-related injuries who wanted to enter the hospitals.

• Many were forced to resort to home treatments, and some even sought out safe clinics for immediate treatment of their injuries, hoping to later gain access to hospitals. They were unable to disclose the real cause of their injuries at any of these clinics. Their silence was due to fear of entering hospitals and being arrested, fearing that hospital authorities would hand over their names, information, or even themselves to government officials.
