Biden urges Iran to end violence against its own citizens

The President of the United States, Joe Biden, has urged Iran this Friday to end violence against its own citizens and has taken a stand with them and with the “brave Iranian women”, after which he has assured that women around the world are being persecuted with these actions.

“I was astonished by what was awakened in Iran” he assured, referring to the protests developed by the murder of Mahsa Amini. “I want to thank you for raising your voices. I want to thank the Persian community for being so clear (about their demands),” the US president said.

“Women should be able to wear whatever they want in the name of God,” he said during a speech at Irvine Valley College in California.

Mobilizations over the death of young Mahsa Amini have left more than 200 dead in the country, according to the non-governmental organization Iran Human Rights, while Tehran has accused the United States and other Western countries of stirring up the demonstrations.
