Throughout history, conservatives have never worried about age or consent when it comes to sex.

I was just thinking that they sounded like Republicans in the US.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The report by Amnesty International is based on the testimonies of 12 women, 26 men, one girl and six boys who survived rape or other forms of sexual violence.

These included children, according to human rights groups that have documented the torture and sexual abuse inflicted on those arrested.

In February 2023, a young Iranian woman told the Guardian she was blindfolded, stripped naked and penetrated by an object.

Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s secretary general, said: “The harrowing testimonies we collected point to a wider pattern in the use of sexual violence as a key weapon in the Iranian authorities’ armoury of repression.”

Mahdi Yaghoubi, 31, was arrested in November 2022 during protests in Tehran and told the Guardian how the security forces sexually assaulted him.

Yaghoubi managed to flee from Iran on the back of a lorry along with his sister, Mina, 32, who was also violently tortured in detention.
