Kowsar Eftekhari, an eye injury survivor of nationwide protests, said on the sidelines of the international conference “Women, Freedom and Security” in a conversation with Ali Hassanpour, a journalist for Iran International: “The cries of those who are living evidence of crimes by the Islamic Republic must be heard. They shot at our eyes to silence us, but we won’t let that happen. We are not victims, and we will continue our struggle.”
