(Can someone translate the text in this photo? I'd like to add a caption but I don't know what it says and I can't paste it into a trasnation app.)
Edit: thanks everyone who's added a translation!! I've reblogged it a couple times with the translations but I'll add one here to the original post too (thanks @pineapplecrispy!)

Stencils seen in Iran featuring the names and faces of women murdered by cops during the ongoing protests following the death of Jina Mahsa Amini, a 22 year old Kurdish woman who was murdered by the morality police after being arrested and beaten for supposedly incorrectly wearing a hijab.
For Mehsa, Nika, Sarina, Mino, Hadith, Hajar, Hadida, Hanana, Aisan and every other woman whose life was stolen these days, because she cried out for freedom.
im sorry for snapping its just that (AND I SAY THIS AS A LESBIAN WHO WEARS A JOAN OF ARC PENDANT 24/7) jeanne d’arc was a victim of rape in prison cells by reality, but only an lgbt icon by modern projection. even in jokes the second can never overshadow the first.

Hob might be immortal but he's going to get a heart attack soon
as a persian girl i really wish that everyone informs themselves about the protests in Iran !!! people have no internet access, are being killed and beaten to death on the streets. the whole political system is a joke and a threat to human rights for all people in that country. it is my duty to use my voice for these people who aren't able to do so and i hope you do the same!!!
this is a women's rights issue and a human rights issue.

The Sandman is like the opposite of queerbaiting - I went in expecting to see Sandman and instead just watched ten episodes of gay people living their best lives. Dreambaiting.
