Qamishlo – Women in Iran and Eastern Kurdistan have risen against the Iranian regime’s patriarchal policies toward women following the killing of Jina Amini.
Rejecting policies of destruction and annihilation, they organized activities inspired by the slogan of Jin, Jiyan, Azadî (Women, Life, Freedom). Authorities repeatedly attempted to suppress the uprising through arrests, detentions, and torture of women, but these measures have failed to stop its global spread.
Activists and journalists who exposed the Iranian authorities have been arrested, tortured, and sentenced to death, including Sharifeh Mohammadi, detained in 2023 on various charges.
Speaking from Qamishlo in North and East Syria, Rohilat Muslim criticized the Iranian regime’s use of religion to justify the arrests of activists and women’s rights defenders. She described the system as “highly closed, strict, patriarchal, and religiously driven, with wide-ranging policies enforced across the country.”
“Despite the passage of time since the assassination of the Iranian president, there has been no meaningful change,” Rohilat Muslim added. “The patriarchal religious regime continues to dominate all aspects of political and social life.”
Regarding Sharifeh Mohammadi, Rohilat Muslim condemned the death sentence, emphasizing that such rulings reflect the regime’s fear of women and its recognition of the growing women’s uprising against Iran’s patriarchal and religious policies.
She stressed that this systematic repression—from arrests to death sentences—targets women activists in an attempt to silence their voices. “The struggle of women for freedom will continue until victory is achieved,” she affirmed.
Rohilat Muslim concluded by underscoring the commitment of their women’s institution to continue fighting for the freedom of all women and the success of the uprising. “We support the movement that began after Jina Amini’s murder, call on human rights organizations to recognize the truth, and continue our struggle to secure Sharifeh Mohammadi’s release.”
