Ce dessin de Hani Abbas date de plus de trois ans. Ça fait mal de constater à quel point la situation n'a fait qu'empirer depuis lors...

Aujourd'hui marque le troisième anniversaire de la mort de Mahsa Amini. Bien que le régime de l'ayatollah soit toujours au pouvoir, les choses semblent avoir changé plus profondément qu'on pourrait le penser.
