An Iranian woman with a physical disability lies on a mobile bed in front of a scale model of the Kaaba before a symbolic Haj, ''Haj Al Kabeer,'' pilgrimage at Kahrizak nursing home, on the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha in southern Tehran, Iran, on June 6, 2025. The Muslim community celebrates Eid Al-Adha, the Feast of the Sacrifice, a Muslim holiday in which believers kill a sheep, sometimes a cow, to commemorate the sacred passage when Abraham, following the order of God, goes to kill his son Ismael, but God finally asks him to kill a sheep.

A disabled man stands near a banner reading 'Stop handiphobia' and 'Nothing for us, without us'. The NGO Handi'social calls for a gathering in front of Purpan's teaching hospital to protest against the only choice left to Karine Brailly: to live an undignified life or die. Karine Brailly, an artist, has Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also called Charcot's disease. As her end is near, she asks to return to her house with a helper she chooses, but doctors refuse and tell her to accept a helper from Vitalliance, which has a record of mistreatment towards handicapped people. Doctors also refuse to treat her with an experimental treatment. Moreover, doctors accept a deep sedation for her at her request for this day, but in the morning, they say it is not possible at this moment. Protesters and handicapped people present demand that France respect the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The French National Assembly is poised to look at a new law called 'law on the end of life' this month in Toulouse, France, on January 14, 2025.
