Prison guards on Saturday put out a fire started by a number of female inmates in Evin prison, near the capital Tehran, by setting fire to their shawls in protest on the anniversary of the state murder of Mahsa Amini. It said female convicts on death row protesting the prison management set fire to the women's ward at the Qarchak jail by burning their clothes. It was unclear if the incident was linked to the general protests on the first anniversary death of Mahsa Amini in police custody.

I'm of the opinion that prisoners should do without whatever they destroy.

This is Iran, where women are put in prison for being raped at worst and for breathing the same air a man does at the same time without his permission at best, therefore, I commend the women for their protests and hope the entire population of women in Iran overtake their woman hating corrupt government.
