The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

On February 6th, British news outlet The Guardian released a report detailing the systemic abuse many Iranian protesters faced at the hands of the Islamic Republic security forces amidst ongoing protests that have rocked the country. The newspaper interviewed 11 protesters, men, and women, who suffered torture and sexual violence from regime authorities. They also talked to a nurse who detailed how women who came for treatment were bleeding from their vaginas due to infection, a sign of sexual torture many Iranians have experienced. One of the protesters interviewed by the Guardian, 25-year-old Dorsa, was violently arrested along with her sister and two male friends. The group was forced to sign confessions stating that they were protesting before being separated from one another for interrogation. She was sexually abused by a foreign object before she was released. Sara, a woman in her 40s from Iran’s Kurdistan region, was among the first protesters to be arrested during the first wave of protests triggered by the death of Mahsa Amini. Like many female protesters, she was beaten and sexually assaulted, and said authorities even used their hijabs to gag their mouths. 30-year-old Kamyar from Mashhad also narrated how Iranian authorities sexually abused him in a police van. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have published detailed reports showing the human rights violations committed by the regime against its citizens.
