Say her name: Ahou Daryaei. Say her name out loud: AHOU DARYAEI.

Her name is Ahou Daryaei, a PhD student in Tehran, who defied Iran's violent gender apartheid with unmatched bravery. On November 2, 2024, after the morality police tore away her headscarf and clothes, she chose to remove the last layers herself, sitting outside her university in protest, a stark statement against repression. Her quiet defiance became a voice for countless women silenced under oppressive laws.

Harassed by Basiji militia, beaten, and arrested, Ahou was left with severe head trauma and is now held as "insane", the punishment for courage under tyranny. In a world that glorifies oppression and brutality as "freedom fighting" and labels bravery and dissent as madness, those who dare to stand for justice are silenced, tortured, and erased.

This is not justice, it is an appeal to conscience. Stand for Ahou Daryaei. Stand for the people of Iran. Let not courage die in darkness.

Women, life, freedom.
