This photo was tweeted with the statement by Ranjkesh and translated by Mohyeddin, “When you stood 2 metres away from me & smirked as you shot my eye, did you ever think I’d survive & one day return that smirk of yours?”

I'm sorry but this was always how it was gonna end. Shiv still in the cycle. Roman getting out. Kendall losing it all. Tom winning because he's a lap dog. Greg riding on Tom's coattails. Connor in limbo, still an afterthought.

How fucked is it though that shivs choice was between Kendall and Tom like. You can have your brother-father or you can have your husband-father but either way you are never escaping your father

The Islamic Republic Executed 3 more Protesters This Morning
The regime has executed more than a hundred of kurd, baloch and Arab activists in the last few months, all of them under false or ambiguous charges. Habib Asivad, an Arab rights activists who was kidnapped from turkey and brought to Iran by the regime, was one of the recent ones.
This morning the regime executed 3 more protesters who has been arrested during the nation wide Jîna revolution. They were tortured and forced to confess to a murder they didn't commit. In fact, there's a document that shows the murder was the regime guards doing. typical.
Tumblr media
The three political prisoners wrote from jail on Wednesday urging the people to stop their execution.
Describing themselves as "children of Iran" in the letter, the three prisoners said: "Hello. We ask our dear fellow citizens not to let them kill us. We need your help. We need your support.
On Sunday night, demonstrators had gathered outside the prison hoping to stop the feared hangings. Campaigners say the prisoners were tortured into confessions, and there is no reliable evidence against them. -Iran International News
As it was mentioned, people tried to stop the execution by protesting and gathering in front of the prison and it was postponed but at the end the regime executed them anyway.
Meanwhile Iran has been chosen to chair the UN Human Rights Council 2023 Social Forum. This is not a joke anymore, it's the tragedy of western human rights. Apparently murdering your people for protesting grants you a human rights council chair in west.

I think the world has abandoned us, they keep talking about human rights but they don't do anything when we're getting killed everyday.

TW: police brutality, rape, torture
Majid Kazemi, a protester who's been sentenced to death in a voice call with his family:
"I said in the court that i don't accept any of the accusations. They gave me electric shock in the car...I was under torture the whole time. They told me "we're gonna execute you and brothers all together, help your family because we're not gonna let them go."
They tortured me mentally and they also electrocuted me, they almost killed me...they took me somewhere and said: "take off his pants let's shove the baton in him". I said "please don't do it, I accept everything you say".
They killed me, killed me...I swear to god I didn't do anything. They couldn't arrest the killer so they said it was me. They said the gun is yours, I said no. They beat me so I said yes. They said I shoot them and they beat me so I said yes. They kept beating me, they said were gonna execute your brother, they said your mom's is in hospital. I said "I did everything you said please leave my family alone".
I was under torture the whole time...I was at work until 8 pm, what group am I a part of? I'm a worker, I'm a coppersmith. I don't have a criminal record. What group are they talking about? There are cameras there, I was at work until 8 pm.
Who should I say this to? Who should I complaint to? What should I say? Who should I talk to about what they've done to me?"
Please share, be his voice.

Talk about them, it can save their lives.

last night on Iranian Twitter, queer people decided to to talk about the oppression that they've faced during the last 43 years of Islamic Republic. in this post, i will share some of the tweets with you. if you want to check out the original tweets, search the hashtag #من_کوئیر_هستم or #IAmQueer 🏳️‍🌈
tw for homophobia, transphobia, execution and discrimination
"Did it happen to you that people talk about executing you in front of you in the class? but you have to keep calm to not get in trouble; you just cry quietly".
"his father was a mullah, i didn't want to judge him. one day i asked him what he thinks about queer people. he said he would take part in a gay person's execution if he could".
"i almost can't go shopping by myself. i can't be a fixed customer of a lot of shops. many places in this climate is temporal to me. if i go there a lot they'll find out that i'm queer and that strange gaze will get started".
"one therapist asked my mother if she experienced mental trauma while she was pregnant with me since i came out as trans".
"in Iran, the country where i was born and raised, i'm considered a filthy and criminal creature".
"i can't come out of the closet in Iran. i was born "illegal" and my existence is illegal here".
"police at Karaj metro station: tell us what you are. are you a girl or a boy?
while looking at my short hair without a veil, and looking for the bulge of the breasts in my loose dress".
"to be honest, i lied to others about my sexual orientation and gender and humiliated and suffocated myself in order to avoid harassment and possible threats. sometimes i think it's meant to be a secret forever".
"it's impossible for me and others like me to obtain fair and efficient medical services. we have to prove ourselves to the therapist in order to make the transition process".
"they said: you want to become a man because men are more free, don't you?"
"my and my cousin figured out that we're queer in the same time. and then we realized that our religion doesn't accept that. i chose my queerness, but they chose their religion".
"i'm a queer protester. i'm openly protesting but i'm not openly queer. so if i get killed i will be announced as a cishet man and i'm ok with it. why? because i live with my queer partner and their safety is my priority".
"i remember in highschool, the students told me if i act "too gay", they will tell the school principal. i ran and hid somewhere, fearing that someone might find out".
"i tried for weeks to connect to the Internet to come here and say that #IAmQueer".
Tumblr media

TW: mention of rape, violence, blood and murder
Mohammad Eqbal was born in Zahedan, Baluchestan, a marginalized part of Iran. Like a lot of people living there, Mohammad Eqbal didn't have a birth certificate and lived in a a really bad condition. From the age of nine, he used to work alongside his older brother, so he can bring more money to his old parents. All he ever wanted from the world, was a cellphone so he could create an Instagram account.
On September 20 2022, Jina Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman was murdered by the morality police. Her death sparked widespread protests across the country which are still ongoing. During the same time, a commender of the police raped a 15-year-old Baluch girl. These crimes committed by the IR forces made one of the biggest protests during the last 7 months also known as the Bloody Friday.
On September 30 2022, thousands of people from Zahedan went out to the streets after they've done their Friday prayers. On that day, the government sent helicopters to Zahedan, the government forces shot and killed at least 100 people and one of them was Mohammad Eqbal.
On that day, Mohammad Eqbal was going to the mosque as usual. He didn't have any money to get a cab so he walked 7/5 miles to get there, and when he did, he was shot in his chest. Later on, people said that the bullet went through his heart and rib cage.
The hospitals were filled with patients and dead bodies, so his family decided to have him in their own house. Mohammad Eqbal's dead body was left in the living room for 24 hours.
TLDR; Mohammad Eqbal Naebzehi, a 16yo worker, was killed by IRGC forces on September 30 2022.
