The Islamic Republic regime has just arrested Parnian Khodabakhshi, a 20-year-old student at Aryamehr University, after security forces raided her home. Regime-linked channels announced her arrest alongside an image of a glass soda bottle, which is a threat of sexual assault against detainees in Iran.
Pro-regime channels have claimed she is arrested solely because she carried the Sun & Lion flag during a peaceful university protest.
Weaponizing the fear of rape to intimidate young women and silence student activism is cruelty by design.
The world must not look away. Students demanding peaceful change should not face home raids, imprisonment, and sexual threats.
