In a communiqué marking International Women's Day, Dr. Zahra Rahnavard, the wife of Iranian protest leader Mir Hossein Mousavi, said that women were the pioneer corps of the Green (protest) movement.
She praised some of the main events in the country in the past two centuries, and complained of laws discriminating against women, stressing that the regime's repression was not deterring Iranian women.
