There are women in there.
Real breathing, seeing, hearing, feeling women trapped inside these portable sensory deprivation chambers.
How is this different from torture?

An Iranian woman, lashed 74 times for defying the hijab law, is now a hero to millions.
#Roya_Heshmati, a Kurdish woman, was punished with 74 lashes for protesting the mandatory hijab. Defiantly, she refused to wear it even during her punishment. Her story is echoing across Iranian social media.
During her ordeal, she sang powerfully: "In the name of women, in the name of life, the chains of slavery have been torn apart."
Roya epitomizes the brave women of #WomanLifeFreedom, determined to dismantle the Islamic regime of Iran and establish a Democratic Iran.

More than half a million disposable cups a day end up in Irish landfills. They are usually made from nonrecyclable/noncompostable material. A 20c tax might encourage us to bring our own or pay a deposit that can be refunded. The coffee cup levy can’t come soon enough!

Next week will be the last State of the Union address by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
It's important that the European Green Deal, renewable energy and halting biodiversity loss remains high on the EU agenda for the crucial years to come. #SOTEU

The 'Morality Police' in Iran and their police cars symbolize the suppression of women. Lately, I've been receiving numerous photos of Iranian women boldly posing unveiled in front of these cars. It's clear: their phones and social media are proving more powerful than the oppressors' guns and bullets. #WomanLifeFreedom

Nazila Maroufian was released from prison just an hour ago. Her "crime"? Interviewing the father of Gina Mahsa Amini. Unveiled, she captured a photo and courageously posted on her Instagram, “Don't accept slavery, because you deserve the best.” #WomanLifeFreedom

As a society we are simply not sending clear enough signals about the dangers and seriousness of such punches (and even more so kicks) to the head. The risk of death or catastrophic life limiting/life changing injury seems not to be understood or reflected in policy or sentencing
