The editorial: “When Retailleau gets it wrong”
Rather than playing Sarkozy with little feet, Bruno Retailleau could usefully look into the work of the Senate commission of inquiry into drug trafficking and its very detailed recommendations.
The images have gone around the world, shared thousands of times and have become iconic, particularly for all those women who, since the establishment of the Iranian theocracy in 1979, have been fighting against the compulsory veil and for their freedom. In September 2022, the tragic death of Mahsa Amini relaunched the protest under the banner “Woman, life, freedom”. Several hundred people have been killed during a relentless crackdown and thousands more have been arrested. Seven men were hanged for their involvement in this movement.
“Iranian women show incredible courage”
Questioned by the demonstrators, the moral police had since become more discreet in the streets. Iranian women have never received the international support they deserve. And this time again, we should demonstrate to demand that Ahoo Daryaei be released. She is currently detained in a psychiatric hospital since, as in all dictatorships, they are trying to make her appear crazy while her action is totally political, like that of the Czechoslovakian student Jan Palach when he immolated himself. by fire in Prague in 1969 to protest against the invasion of his country by the USSR!
The editorial team advises you
Iranian women show incredible courage but remain internationally isolated. Élisabeth Badinter is struck by the one-sided indignation of neo-feminists who go so far as to defend the “freedom” to wear the Islamic veil in France but never have anything to say about the fight of Iranian women. Iran reveals the inconsistencies of French neo-feminists. Example, this tweet from Sandrine Rousseau equating a woman who takes off her clothes to defy a religious dictatorship and those who want to veil themselves: “Our body, and everything we put on – or not – to dress it, belongs to us. Force to Iranian women, to Afghan women, to all those who suffer oppression,” the environmentalist MP wrote on X, in reaction to the Iranian student’s gesture. “This tweet is a shame,” protested comedian Sophia Aram, pointing out the ambiguity of Sandrine Rousseau’s speech. And I ask this disturbing question: where are the feminists, where are the keffiyeh wearers in support of the Palestinians, where are the students of Sciences Po, where are Rima Hassan and her comrades from La France insoumise when it comes to supporting the Iranian women? Their silence is deafening and it dishonors them.
