In the letter, they’ve asked for the resignation of Ali Khamenei, complete transition away from the Islamic Republic and a new constitution. These activtists have noted the similar demands of 14 civil activists in the summer and have said that in protest to the gender apartheid “which results from the patriarchal approach of the clerical regime, we will rise against this mysognistic regime which has diminished human values and demand complete transition away from the Islamic Republic and devision of a a new consitution.” They have also stressed that it was after the revolution and establishment of the Islamic Republic that “many elementary and human rights were taken away from Iranian women” and “anybody who spoke up against this gender discrimionation was met with insults and humilation, beating up, prison and in some cases even torture and execution.” The 14 women’s rights activists continue their statement by stating their determination to continue their struggle “in a civil and non-violent manner” by “saying no to the Islamic Republic.” </coverage-outsourcing>
