This legislation serves as a potent tool for the regime to stifle dissent and prevent any potential uprising.\u00a0Iranian women are undeniably facing a brutal form of gender-based apartheid. The regime\u2019s draconian laws targeting women have reached a level of inhumanity that defies comprehension.
