Today marks one year anniversary of 2022 Iranian uprising against the oppressive Islamic Republic regime. An uprising that started with the brutal murder of a young kurd woman, Mahsa Jina Amini, for "inappropriate hijab".
For the past couple of weeks, the regime has prepared their forces to beat down any new movement immediately. The streets of Tehran and many other cities are lined with anti riot forces and police cars. In Saqez, the home city of Amini family, they've stationed the army around the city to massacre people in case they try to start another wave of protest. Mahsa's father has been arrested alongside some family members of other last year uprising martyrs.
There has been small protesting gatherings in Iran in the last two days, there has already been some arrests and violent crackdowns on protesters. I hear people chanting from my neighborhood homes. The government would commit as many bloodbaths as it takes to secure their position, but you can't beat people into obedience when they hate you from the bottom of their hearts.

this nightmare won’t ever end.
On sunday, oct 1st, a 16 year old girl named Armita Geravand was using the Tehran subway to go to school with her two other friends when she was attacked by the islamic regime forces for not wearing hijab. There’s a cctv footage showing her friends taking her unconscious body out of the train. She’s hospitalized at a military hospital due to head trauma and is in a coma. It’s said she’s been pushed by the security forces and her head had hit a metal bar. The regime detained a reporter who was going to the hospital to cover the news and it cut off any access to the hospitalized girl. The regime says the girl’s blood pressure dropped and that’s why she lost consciousness. But the said regime also killed nearly 600 people to say it didn’t have anything to do with Mahsa Amini’s murder.
Tumblr media
It’s been some two months since the islamic regime stationed ‘Hijab guards’ and police forces at the entrance to some subway stations in Tehran. They’re there everyday. Usually when it’s really crowded they don’t say anything, probably sacred of the crowd’s reactions. But sometimes when there are a few people around, they warn women who are using the subway to wear hijab. And you never know when they’re going to get violent and hurt you.
I just hope Armita makes it. It’s just been 11 days since schools opened. So many girls and boys were supposed to return to school this year but the regime killed them. It keeps killing us and this nightmare will never end.

Iran abolishes Morality Police... but not really
So recently news has come out that Iran has abolished the Morality Police. But changing the name means nothing. They are still just as abhorrently violent to protestors, especially women and even children under the age of 15. They are trying to lull the world into a sense of false security. Do not look away.
DO NOT LOOK AWAY, IRAN IS NOT DONE WITH THE OPPRESSORS.

Hello my friends. I have been absent from tumblr because I was dealing with my health issues. I'm relatively fine and safe.
I've seen that I have many notes and messages. Unfortunately I can't answer them right now. The Internet connection is really weak and any moment it can be shut down. I'm only back to ask you a favor. You might have heard what's going on in Iran right now. If you don't know watch this.
TW: Graphic content
The internet speed is so low that I can't upload any photo or video. Follow #مهسا_امینی , #MahsaAmini on twitter or instagram for more info.
Iranians have been in the streets all over Iran since then. They are protesting, women burning their headscarves and wanting regime change. It's a revolution. And the regime is shooting at people and killing them. They blocked Instagram and WhatsApp last night. The only remaining available social media apps that you could use without a VPN. They're also shutting down Internet so the world doesn't know about their atrocities.
So please be our voice. We need global support more than ever. Don't let your politicians and governments normalize this inhuman, criminal and terrorist regime and the negotiations with them. Islamic Republic don't represent Iranians. They are fighting with us and murdering us. Please reblog this and be our voice.

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

saying F U to the regime again and again: a quick update on women vs IR regime
Famous Iranian actresses have been appearing in public without a mandatory hijab. This has been happening since the beginning of the protests. Last month, Kiumars Pourahmad, a well known Iranian screenwriter and director, committed suicide. He had a history of criticizing the regime's political decisions. At his funeral, some of the famous actresses attended without mandatory hijab.
Tumblr media
You can see Fateme Motamedarya, Katayoun Riyahi, and Golab Adineh in these pictures from the funeral. Ms. Riyahi was one of the first celebrities who took her hijab off at the start of the Jina (Mahsa) Amini protest and for that she's been the target of IRGC harassment and has been to court.
Last week, in the ceremony of screening of the final episode of Lion's Skin (a persian crime show), actress Pantea Bahram participated without hijab. The manager of Tehran’s Lotus Cinema, where the ceremony was held, was fired for letting her attend without hijab.
Tumblr media
Other than prosecution, the regime has blocked these celebrities' bank accounts. Basij and IRGC members have also attacked and harassed these women online and in real life.
Students on university campuses take off their hijabs. There's an installed version of morality police in universities that monitor students' styles. Female students must wear "appropriate" hijab and male students must wear "manly" clothes (one of my guy friends once was asked to go back home and change his shoes because they were red casual loafers. Apparently that's gay!). When you enroll in Iranian universities, the first thing you do is to go to the security office and sign an agreement that says you promise to follow the Islamic dress code. There are posters all over the campus that says things like "hijab is security" "respect the islamic hijab" and "not wearing appropriate hijab (tight short clothes, too much hair, makeup, etc) would result in legal action". So not wearing hijab on campus, where a lot of security cameras are installed and it's easy to identify you, is a big deal.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The regime's response to students taking off their hijabs is sending threatening messages to students' phones and increasing the security people. At the entrance of Universities, these security forces check people's clothes and if it's not proper they won't let you in. Some of the students wear the hijab at the entrance and take it off after they're in. They have warned our professors to not let non hijabi students sit in classes too.
One of my favorite trends in Iran now is when guys wear our hijab. These pictures are from universities. Guys wearing hijab make the security mad. This is a great act of solidarity with women against the obligatory hijab.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Some men have been doing either this or wearing shorts in public. The former is to ridicule the obligatory dress code and the latter is because wearing shorts in public is forbidden for guys too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And women not wearing hijab in general. Though hijab is not our only issue, we want a whole new political system, one that is not theocratic or terroristic, hijab is something the regime won't back down from because it's one of their strongest oppressing tools. If they let us win the fight against obligatory hijab, I quote from a regime head, "people keep demanding more changes"!
So to put people against people to enforce the hijab law again, the regime has closed down many businesses (hotels, cafes, malls, bookstores, etc) for welcoming non hijabi female costumers. They have also warned taxi and bus drivers to not let non hijabi women in their vehicles.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Although not everyone is disobeying the hijab law (some believe in hijab, some don't want to pay the price), the number of women who take the risk and don't wear hijab in Tehran and many other cities is high enough that you feel encouraged to keep doing it.

A city in north-west Iran has run it's police and military out of town and is now being run my the people. But it's completely cut off from the rest of the world (no internet or phone lines ect), and if the government regains control they may kill everyone who lives there, especially if people outside Iran don't know what's happening.
Something like this has has happened before, with the Mahshahr massacre in 2019. Over 150 protesters were killed. We cannot let this happen again.
The city's name is Oshnavieh. Talk about it, tweet about it, make it a hashtag. Bring Oshnavieh to the public view.

There is something terrible happening in iran and I don’t know how to put it into words. Every time i think about it i become paralyzed with loathing, fury, disgust, hopelessness and fear.
The islamic regime has been poisoning young girls at school so that they would stop going to school. It started in the city of Qom since December and some 50 schools across the country have been targeted. All young students. All girls. It’s just horrifying.
Can you imagine living in a country where the government would do that to you? To your children? And the world has been treating these fucking terrorists like a legitimate government for 44 years. And For what? For fucking money?
Just a few days ago, the swiss ambassador to tehran was photographed with fucking murderous mullahs in full hijab looking like this and the swiss foreign ministry said well, nothing wrong with that! she was just observing the hijab protocols! Wtf ! At the time when iranian women are risking their very lives going to the streets without hijab, when little girls are being poisoned so they won’t go to school, when women are being killed and tortured and raped in prisons for defying the compulsory hijab, the swiss ambassador wears full hijab and goes to meet with mullahs. To observe the hijab protocols? Fuck that.
Tumblr media
Its at times like this when i feel our situation is completely hopeless and all these people have died for nothing. Because the world politicians want the islamic regime to stay. And there’s nothing we can do as long as they keep treating the islamic regime as a legitimate government.
And btw, Hijab isn’t and has never been our culture. Bravery is.

Yes people there is still a massacre going on here. the reason you don't hear much about it is because our access to any social media is pretty much nonexistent at this point (a miracle on it's own that I finally managed to post this) and non Iranians or different platforms aren't really talking about us now so there's that🚶🏻‍♀️
