Iran's regime is perpetrating a brutal crackdown, leaving thousands dead and sparking global indifference. The authorities' use of violence to maintain control is only exacerbating the crisis.
Dr. Ahu Kucuksefahani, an expert in international relations and social movements, says it's 'far-fetched' to believe Iran's government can implement meaningful reforms. "If a government is willing to ruthlessly kill its own people," she asks, "how can we trust it to make the necessary changes?"
The Iranian authorities' actions are met with inconsistent global responses. While some condemn the violence, others fail to adequately address the crisis. This ambivalence has allowed the regime to continue its repression, further entrenching its authoritarian grip.
The lack of concrete action from the international community is a stark reminder that Iran's government remains unaccountable for its actions. The ongoing internet blackouts have severely hampered efforts to mobilize against the regime, further silencing dissent and limiting opportunities for reform.
It's a sobering reality: if a government is willing to silence its citizens through violence, can we truly expect it to work towards positive change? Dr. Kucuksefahani's assessment highlights the complexities of holding authoritarian regimes accountable for their actions, and the need for more decisive global action in response to human rights abuses.
