And what about you, Azadeh? You were working for NGOs at the time, so you were in touch with a lot of these people who ended up, protesters who ended up becoming political prisoners or to the families of those that they had to bury.

Yeah, definitely.

So just before the protest started, maybe about a year and a bit before 2022, there were, they were cracking down on women's, uh, NGOs in Tehran.

So an NGO that I was working with, um, at the time, uh, in Tehran from London, um, they were one by one shutting down the NGOs that were supporting women.

And it wasn't even anything political.

It was women that had experienced domestic violence or honor-based violence.

So it was those kinds of NGOs that they were cracking down on.

Also, I want to ask you, what changed the state's response between September 2022 and January 2026?
