A group of Lebanese intellectuals issued a statement expressing full “solidarity with the Iranian women’s revolution”, and voicing fears that the regime would resort to extreme violence to silence it.
Ninety intellectuals working in the fields of writing, art and media said that Iranian women “with their courage, their assertion of freedom and their rejection of religious tyranny, open a door to great possibilities, not only for Iran, but also for the entire region politically, intellectually and socially.”
