Rowling criticized for demanding freedom for Iranian women

International bestseller ‘Harry Potter’ series author JK Rowling recently gave a message of standing by the women’s rights movement in Iran. However, she also had to face criticism from netizens for this. Because she was accused of being silent about the ongoing genocide in the besieged Gaza and the deprivation of Palestinian women. According to the Times of India.
Rowling has made several posts on social media on the issue of the ongoing Iranian movement. In one post, she wrote, ‘If you support human rights but cannot stand up for the people fighting for freedom in Iran, then your true attitude is being revealed. It means you have no sympathy for the oppressed people.’
This post by the millionaire author quickly went viral and caused a strong reaction among netizens. Many see Rowling’s behavior as ‘conditional sympathy’. One social media user commented that she was silent during the massacre in Palestine, but is suddenly expressing enthusiasm for Iran. This is not real sympathy, but a display of electoral morality. Many see Rowling as a symbol of a kind of Western mentality. Some users also mentioned her past transphobia controversy. It is worth noting that anti-government protests have been going on in Iran for more than two weeks. Security forces have been carrying out arrests and attacks to suppress them. The death toll has risen to 2,571 so far.
