Organisation for Womenвs Liberation and the Campaign against Sharia Court in Canada condemns this brutal attack. The arrest of womenвs rights activists, urges all to protest against the Islamic Republic of Iran. We urge all to support the activists of movement for womenвs liberation on 8th March in Iran and condemn the Islamic Republic for suppressing womenвs movement, for imposing 28 years of reactionary Islamic rule in Iran and for all the crimes committed in the region. We call upon all freedom-loving people to protest against the arrest of these women activists internationally and to call for their immediate and unconditional release.
