«After the death of 22-year-old Kurdish Mahsa Amini, arrested by the moral police because she wore the veil in the wrong way, revealing her hair, in Iran there was a protest from the female world, tired of the harassment imposed by the Islamist dictatorial regime of the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – explains, in an official conference, the Minister for Equal Opportunities Silvia Spaziani -.
These are the most important demonstrations since the 1979 revolution, far more relevant than those of 2009 and 2019, because this time they depart from the province to extend throughout Iran.
We are following with admiration, but also with great concern, this real cultural and social revolution, also because this time women are also supported by many men, especially young people; even the players of the Iranian national team have expressed their solidarity with Iranian women.
The Islamic Republic of Iran systematically violates human rights, but in the case of women it is a real repression.
As a Templar Nation we strongly condemn the attitude of the Tehran government and will do everything to support the protest of women in Iran.
I don’t think that, despite the police repression, this wave of protests can be stopped, the new revolution in Iran has begun, and it is women who carry it forward».
