I just want to say that this blog will not rest until the people (especially the woman) in Iran are heard. And I will keep posting and informing what’s going on in Iran. Cause this is not just some “trend” this is something real , and something I care about. I will not stop posting about Iranians and the atrocities against the people. Until they all have a voice.

Ashkan Mahmoodi Nejad has recorded a video of himself explaining how the “police” forcefully pulled his wife, Somayeh Mahmoodi Nejad, out of a taxi, fired six bullets at her and killed her in front of their 8 y.o child.

Somayeh was an innocent woman and was killed in cold blood in front of her little child.

This crime was committed a month ago.

Tell her story.

Iran protests- Save Saman Yasin

Saman Yasin, a 27 year old Iranian-Kurdish rapper was arrested in early October for supporting the protests over the death of Jina Mahsa Amini. 

Saman was arrested in his home on October 2 on the charge of waging “a war against God.”

Iran’s penal code prohibits acts of “rebellion,” including aiding and abetting anything that “causes severe disruption in the public order of the state and insecurity.” Any person found guilty of doing so will be considered “corrupt on earth” and sentenced to death.

Apparently, he is being held in Evin prison, along with thousands of other political prisoners. He has been tortured physical and mentally. 

His family hired a lawyer for his case, but the lawyer was not allowed to see Saman. His lawyer was not allowed to be resent at his trial. In fact, these “trials” are nothing but sham trails. Prisoners are tortured for false confessions, which are then broadcast on state TV to discredit them before the sham trials. 

Saman sang about inequality, oppression and unemployment. ‘

Saman and over 15,000 other political prisoners are facing execution. Please spread the word. Do not stay silent. 

Voria Ghafouri, a notable soccer player and former member of the national team, was arrested by Iranian authorities. He has always been outspoken about social and political concerns. Voria has openly backed the protesters and visited the families of victims in Mahabad over the past three months

Stand with muslim women for their fight against religious fundamentalism, not against them

SOS 🆘

Please spread the word and help the people Mahabad, THEY NEED YOUR HELP!!!!

Be their voice!!!

this is not my post but one of many people who have lost a loved one to what’s going on in Iran.

Interview with Nele, Nika Shakarami’s girlfriend by Zeit Magazine

‘‘Nika loved the moon, and it became an important symbol in their relationship, says Nele. When they missed each other, they would say: “We don’t live in the same country, but beneath the same sky.” Sometimes, Nika would tell Nele over the phone that she was looking at the moon, saying: You should go outside too, Nele, so we can look at it together. They even called each other “my moonie.” Or Niki and Neli. Or Haku and Chihiro, like the main characters in the anime film “Spirited Away,” which both of them loved. The story involves a courageous boy helping a shy girl escape a world full of monsters. “That was us,” Nele says today‘‘

Nika Shakarami was a 16 year old brave Iranian girl who was kidnapped by the police during the ongoing protests in Iran, brutally tortured, raped and murdered in cold blood. Her burial was on her birthday. Say her name, Nika Shakarami

Say Her Name - Nasim Sadeghi

Another young woman whose life was cut short by the Islamic Republic. Nasim Sadeghi, 22 years old, was killed protesting in Urmia. She was shot during the protests by the securing forces. She was a resident of Shahin Dej (Sayin Ghala), of West Azerbaijan, and had gone to Urmia to participating in the protests. Her family was forced by the Islamic Republic to declare that the cause of her death was an accident. This is a common tactic used by the Islamic Republic - pressuring families of victims to fabricate stories about how they died. And when families refuse, they face brutal attacks by the Islamic Republic.

This is absolutely painful to watch. These are the beautiful, brave Iranians who have died at the hands of the Islamic Republic, from Neda to Nika. There  are thousands more loving, kind, courageous, hopeful, selfless women, men, girls and boys who are being detained, kidnapped, tortured and murdered at this moment by the hands of the Islamic Republic.

Enough, is enough!

What we, Iranians mean by "help iran" and what we don't

Do we want military intervention? Absolutely not. If USA is smart enough they wouldn't even think of that as an option. We've defended our lands in an unfair war once, we'll do it again. There's a patriot mindset in iranian culture, that's why no foreign interference or colonizing attempt has lasted here. Plus west is currently in a financial crisis, I don't think they have money to fund a war. But you know who's doing that? Aiding islamic republic with tropes and equipment? islamic republic supporters in the region.

Do we want to be taken advantage of? Robbed? Being denied our wealth and resources by foreign powers? No, but do you think only west can do that? Have you ever heard about Russia and China being best pals with islamic republic? You don't think that's "friendship", do you? What do you think this is?

(if you're interested to know more, search 25 year long iran-china agreement)

Don't think we're only fighting islamic Republic. But one economic giant and one warmongering power are standing behind islamic republic! Eastern powers are just as big and bad as western ones.

What do we want and need? We need to to be on the news so that the non-iranians would know what's going on here. People, citizens and civilians have the power to push and hold back their governments if public opinion is set.

How would that help? Iran's regime holds back the massacre when the world is watching, it's been their way, they mass murder us in darkness. Western politicians will be forced to break the silence. Our regime wouldn't be able to convince west to lift the sanctions (yes, sanctions are good. It puts our regime under pressure. Without sanctions islamic republic would have been rich enough to occupy the entirety of the middle east and establish Chinese-style oppression in iran. People would still be poor.)

What are our demands from western politicians and governments? One, don't help our regime in any capacity. Don't sell them weapons, don't send them money, don't strike contracts with them, Don't do any sort of business with them. Believe it or not west have done these before. Two, don't give them credibility. We Iranians are shouting and crying out that this regime doesn't have legitimacy, that we don't know them as our representatives. By inviting them to international meetings, you're offending our people. Islamic Republic having a sit in women's rights councils at the same time they're killing women for wanting their basic rights is a fuckin insult to us people.

There are international organizations out there that exist to support and help humanity, they don't actually do it but they exist so we should force them to do their jobs. There are international unions that can put our regime at disadvantage by simply not negotiating or working with them.

In 2009, Obama helped Iran's regime "indirectly" to suppress protesters by releasing part of iran's blocked money. That is iranian people's money, by giving them to our government not only it won't help people, but it will also be used against us.

So, help iran by not helping islamic republic.

I also want to remind y'all that islamic republic has a history of meddling with other countries' businesses. The most known one is their direct involvement in killing Syrian protesters. They also do terroristic attacks on whoever puts their reign in danger, here are some examples:

When I say islamic republic is not just dangerous for iran I mean this. And when I say international action I'm not only talking about USA.

PS, I forgot to mention iran is currently commiting international crimes such as mass executing protesters (crimes against humanity), kill rape and torture teenagers (crimes against children) and use ambulances and firefighting vehicles to arrest people or move anti riot forces and weapons (war crimes). Therefore it's international organizations business!

Massage from Malale Yousafzai in support of women’s revolution in Iran.

She herself was shot by islamic fundamentalists for going to school.

the total number of detainees during the nationwide uprising in Iran is estimated at 6,000.

in this post I will talk about some of them.

(tw:beating) this is Armita Abbasi. she is 20 years old, she was last seen in a hospital after her arrest because she was reportedly beaten with a baton. her whereabouts are unknown.

this is Saeed Heleichi, an Arab poet and activist. he was arrested on October 19.

this is Soheil Khoshdel, a 17 yo protester who was arrested and sent to a correctional center just because of protesting.

this is Samane Asqari, a children rights activist. the police officers introduced themselves as employees of water department so they can enter her house and arrest her.

this is Badi' Khaze'i. he was arrested alongside his friends. after realizing that he's a follower of Baha'i religion, the police transferred him to Evin prison of Tehran which is 792 miles away from his hometown.

Elnaz Rekabi, a climber who refused to wear the hijab in a competition is reportedly under house arrest.

(tw: beating and torture) this is the moment of Hossein Ronaghi's arrest. he has been arrested several times over the past 20 years. this time he was arrested for being interviewed by an anti-regime broadcasting station. he was violently taken away by the police in front of a courthouse. he was going to turn himself in but he was still beaten by the police. both of his legs are broken and he has been tortured for days without any treatment. he's also on a hunger strike.

this is Atrin Azarfar. she's a Kurdish graphic designer who was arrested on October 19. her whereabouts are unknown.

this is Fatemeh Sepehri, a political and women's rights activist. she was arrested because of her interview with an anti-regime tv station. she has been kept in a solitary confinement since September 21.

this is Niloofar Hamedi, a journalist who reported Jina Amini's murder and shared a photo of her parents. she's been arrested for doing her job.

say their names, talk about them.

This is Sepideh Gholian. She is a worker’s activist who lead the workers of Iran’s sugar factory in their strike. The workers hadn’t been paid for seven months and were shot at when they protested for their rights.

Islamic republic of Iran sent 30 MEN to arrest this woman and she is in jail to this day as are many other workers who were arrested in that strike 5 years ago.

This is Sattar Beheshti. Iranian worker and blogger who was imprisoned for speaking about the condition of workers in Iran and died as a result of torture. The government said he had sustained unexplained head trauma-exactly like Mahsa.

These are only two examples. If you are a communist-leftist of any kind and you do not speak up against islamic republic of iran shame on you. You don’t give a shit about workers you just belong in an anti-American circlejerk online.

I just saw a news article refer to the Iranian protests as "anti-hijab protests," and while I think most people realize this, I wanted to write a post about this anyway. I'm not Iranian, and if there's something I misunderstand, I'm open to any Iranian correcting me. But here's what I've gathered from posts by Iranians:

The protests are not "anti-hijab" protests. That is an oversimplification that is so simplified it's incorrect. The protests go beyond the hijab issue. Iranian women are forced to wear the hijab. If they don't wear it they can be beaten or even murdered. If they speak out against, they can get beaten or murdered. If their families spread the word about what happened, their families could be murdered. Children have been murdered.

Mahsa/Jina Amini's murder was the catalyst for the revolution, but it wasn't the root cause, and nor is the hijabs in and of themselves. The people of Iran are protesting because they're sick and tired of living under an oppressive regime their whole lives. They're fighting for the right to wear a hijab or not wear a hijab as they please...and not be murdered because of that choice. They're fighting to end the oppression of women and the country in general. They're not "anti-hijab."

Women post TikToks protesting the death of Mahsa Amini in Iranian police custody after she was detained on suspicion of breaking hijab-weari

"Women in Iran are taking off their headscarves and cutting their hair to protest the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini.

Amini died in a Tehran hospital on Friday after being arrested by Iran's Islamic morality police on Tuesday on suspicion of not correctly wearing a hijab — a head covering traditionally worn by Muslim women and is mandatory in Iran — according to reports. 

Tehran police said Amini was arrested for the purpose of "justification and education" about the hijab, and told her family she died of a "sudden" heart attack. Her family say she had no known heart conditions, and witnesses said they saw police beating her up inside a van, according to BBC News.

On September 18, the day of Amini's funeral, protests erupted in Iran, with women removing their headscarves and waving them in the air to protest the hijab-wearing rules that led to the arrest of the 22-year-old."

Worry grows for Iran athlete who competed without her hijab

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — An Iranian competitive climber left South Korea on Tuesday after competing at an event in which she climbed withou

An Iranian competitive climber left South Korea on Tuesday after competing at an event in which she climbed without her nation’s mandatory headscarf covering, authorities said. Farsi-language media outside of Iran warned she may have been forced to leave early by Iranian officials and could face arrest back home, which Tehran quickly denied.

The decision by Elnaz Rekabi, a multiple medalist in competitions, to forgo the headscarf, or hijab, came as protests sparked by the Sept. 16 death in custody of a 22-year-old woman have entered a fifth week. Mahsa Amini was detained by the country’s morality police over her clothing.

The demonstrations, drawing school-age children, oil workers and others to the street in over 100 cities, represent the most-serious challenge to Iran’s theocracy since the mass protests surrounding its disputed 2009 presidential election.

A later Instagram post on an account attributed to Rekabi described her not wearing a hijab as “unintentional,” though it wasn’t immediately clear whether she wrote the post or what condition she was in at the time. The Iranian government routinely pressures activists at home and abroad, often airing what rights group describe as coerced confessions on state television.
