Iran's Brutal Crackdown: Remembering Mahsa Amini's Death and Inspiring Change

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden commemorate the anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death and express solidarity with the Iranian people who have been killed, wounded, or imprisoned by the Iranian regime for peacefully demanding democracy and human rights. They highlight the impact of Mahsa's story and the Woman, Life, Freedom movement, which has inspired global advocacy for gender equality. The United States remains committed to supporting Iranians in their fight for a free and democratic future, providing tools for advocacy and speaking out against gender-based violence. The US has taken diplomatic actions, facilitated safe havens for human rights activists, improved internet access, and imposed sanctions on Iranian individuals and entities responsible for human rights abuses.
