Interesting article @KamGhadimiMD @MSharifpourMD @SaateeSia @NikraDoc @CoronaryDoc
A year ago, Mahsa Amini died after being arrested and tortured for allegedly breaking Iran’s mandatory hijab law. Mass protests ensued. @richardhorton1 writes about events since, doctors implicated in human rights abuses, and the intersection of health and women’s rights. /2
