Authorities in Iran are trying to enforce laws obligating women to cover their hair by sending them into psychological treatment. While healthcare organisations warn the country’s judiciary is hijacking…

    A justice system criticised by Iran’s psychiatrists

    Thank goodness. Hopefully they all fight against this blatant exploitation of psychiatry to persecute and control women.

      And hopefully that means this abuse will fall flat anyway. Mandatory sessions where the doctor asks, “Can you believe this shit?”

      Or, per their expertise, providing coping mechanisms for dealing with this authoritarian horseshit.

        Assuming they are being sent to the sane ones.

        Its more probable they have a list of doctors in alignment with the govts ideology, and who knows what would go on in name of psychology counselling.

    Some of the people with the biggest set are the Iranian girls defying the hijab order from the government. ✊🏽

    Iran is an insane unhinged country, I seriously wish we could help them and Afghans because the mess we left in Afghanistan is really heartbreaking to see

      Didn’t US intervention lead to this problem?

        Yep. US foreign policy has been helping Islamo-fascism on for a long, long time now. Coups, invasions, funding, training… you name it, the US has done it.

        The Taliban only exists because of all the arms supplies the US gave these extremists during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.

          Also the Iranian Revolution (which wasn’t entirely Islamist in nature, but they were the ones who won the power struggle in its immediate aftermath - the liberals were out of the picture by 1980, while the communist opposition got finished off in mass executions in 1988) happened due to the unpopularity of absolute monarch Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who was stubbornly supported by the US to his last days.

          And this has roots in the western-supported coup against Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953, who was a social democratic reformer.

          It’s a story that unfortunately repeats many times around the region, and globally too.

          No, not partially. Entirely. When you destroy the left, you get the right taking power. And the fact that the theocrats were more popular than the CIA puppet should tell you a lot.

          The US installed a regime so terrible Iran chose a religious autocrat over that

        Afghanistan was like this before US intervention when Russia invaded

          Russia didn’t invade, it was literally invited into the country by a socialist democracy (but I repeat myself)

          Also no, youre wrong. The base of power was with tribal leaders, not oriented around far right religious extremism.

      The US caused it! The best they can do is stay out of it and not “try to help”
