This is a significant development:

Where should we, women of this land, take our complaints? Today, our daughters and sons in universities, dorms, and streets are getting slapped in the face, their blood is being shed, [they] are being hit by sticks, batons and bullets, and [they] are losing their lives while they are defending their rights and their nation’s rights.

The families asked the Ulema to help them and to speak up against the atrocities being committed against their children and the Islamic Revolution. As representatives of “concerned and suffering mothers,” the families said they expect the Ulema to defend the ”oppressed, patient, and resistant people” because “if you don’t think about saving Islam from the claws of petrifaction, fraud and lies today, it will be too late tomorrow.”
