A group of Iranian women activists issued a statement listing their own solutions to the current crisis in the country. They maintain that the proposals put forth by opposition leaders, Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi "neglect" the demands of women.
The statement lists: "annulment of all discriminatory and anti-women laws, recognition of women's right to their body and mind, ending violence against women and prosecution of all perpetrators of the crimes committed in the past thirty years" as solutions for exiting the current crisis.
They add that women's issues are a major part of the current crisis and "no solution will be effective" without recognizing and trying to resolve these issues.
The statement also supports general demands such as "freedom of thought, speech and assembly." While calling for an end to torture and the death penalty, they also express their support for "the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners."
