## Resource

Shirin, a political activist in Tehran, grapples with PTSD symptoms amidst the brutal realities of regime crackdowns and ongoing war strikes. Since the 2024 protests sparked by Mahsa Aminis death, repression has escalated, with over fifty thousand arrests and reports of torture, injuries, and deaths in detention. The mental health crisis is exacerbated by bombings by US and Israel, with hospitals understaffed and overwhelmed with trauma calls. Despite her fears, Shirin remains resilient, vowing to take prison if Iran stands tall. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
