    This is NOT confirmed. All the media got it from a single news source (Borna News) and the family and doctors have not yet pronounced her brain dead however recovery chance is low right now.

      I recognize what you’re saying here, the Iranian government would prefer women who are incapable of thinking for themselves, but your phrasing is insensitive at best and borderline racist at worst.
