UN Commission on Status of Women must remove #Islamic regime of #Iran today.
Misogynist regime that killed #MahsaAmini for few strands of hair, arrested 18000 since 16 Sept & has begun executing protestors has no place in body promoting gender equality.
#IranRevoIution

@UN_CSW
Women of #Iran expect 54-member UN Economic & Social Council to vote to remove #Islamic Republic of #Iran from Commission on Status of Women.

How can #execution capital of world & state that legally discriminates and promotes violence against women be on a women’s rights body?
Expelling #Islamic regime of #Iran from @UN_CSW will be welcome precedent & put women’s rights above ‘rights’ of states to violate women’s rights without consequences & accountability.

How can regime that legally kills & discriminates against #women be on a gender equality body?
#Islamic regime of #Iran says removal from @UN_CSW will prevent states with ‘different cultures, customs & traditions’ from being on UN bodies. Discrimination & violence against women via state security forces & sharia law not culture & tradition but violations of women’s rights.
#Islamic regime of #Iran cannot violate women’s rights, promote inequality via its laws & expect to remain on @UN_CSW.

Having #Iran regime of gender apartheid on UN Commission promoting gender equality like having racial apartheid regime on commission promoting racial equality.
Compulsory #veiling is part of an imposition of sex apartheid. It aims to segregate the sexes by force. It kills. If racial apartheid is not culture & tradition but racism, then sex apartheid is sexism & misogyny. Oust #Islamic regime of #Iran from @UN_CSW. #MahsaAmini
Only international body the #Islamic regime of #Iran should be involved in is the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity & against women not on a body promoting gender equality.
#MahsaAmini @UN_CSW
@UN_CSW Finally, some justice that 29 UN member states voted to oust #Islamic regime of #Iran from @UN_CSW. Sided with women rather than misogynist regime. But which are 8 states that voted against ousting and 16 that abstained. Shameful. Shameful. Shameful. #MahsaAmini

Morality police to be disbanded by #Islamic regime of #Iran? It already effectively has by Iran’s #womensrevolution. As has compulsory veiling laws. Women, with the support of men, have been removing & burning their veils, walking the streets without veils.
#MahsaAmini Image
Morality police one of #Islamic regime of #Iran’s many crimes against women & people of Iran. Just since #MahsaAmini killed, over 400 protesters killed, many of them children, 18,000 arrested, women prisoners raped & execution sentences already been issued in kangaroo courts.
#Islamic regime of #Iran must be overthrown & held accountable for over 40 years of crimes against humanity.

Disbanding of morality police is one of the victories of #womensrevolution that is aiming to end an Islamic regime in Iran.

This is the beginning of its end.

My review of @Ayaan new book, Prey, which is more about criminalising migration and racialising crime than ending violence against women.
The premise of Hirsi Ali’s new book Prey is that there is, in fact, a clash of civilisations and that the rise in sexual violence in Europe since 2015 is due to an increase of migrant men from Muslim-majority countries with sexist attitudes.
Undoubtedly, sexual violence is pervasive and on the rise in the UK, Europe and everywhere. For example, incidents of rape per 100,000 are higher in Australia and the US. Most sexual violence is carried out by an intimate partner, not a stranger.

In 1991, I was beaten by NYPD at anti-Iraq War protest. Undercover agents threw something into parade, 18 of us were dragged over barricades fencing protesters in. One cop kicked me in face while I was on the ground; another jumped on my stomach with his knee. #BlackLivesMatter
I was one of the War Parade 18, charged with offences such as resisting arrest with a sentence of 13 years in prison. The only reason we were not imprisoned was because of news footage that finally was found that showed police attacked us. (2) #BlackLivesMatter
When in jail the first night after the arrest, when we were bleeding and injured, the police woke us up in the middle of the night to take photos of us and said if we have been fucked, we wouldn't be protesting. (3) #BlackLivesMatterUK
