This is Liana Modabberi. She’s only 3 years old and she’s hugging a picture of her uncle, Navid Afkari, a national hero.
Navid was a professional wrestler. He was full of life and joy.
However, after protesting for his basic human rights a few years ago, he was sentenced to death after the regime falsely accused him of killing a police officer.
A campaign started to stop the death sentence from being carried out.
There’s a rule that before execution, the prisoners can see and speak with their loved ones one last time.
Navid however, was killed at night. In silence. Without anyone knowing. Without hugging his loved ones for one last time.
This was a shock to all Iranians.
Today, they arrested his sister, Elham Afkari, and her 3 y.o daughter. Shiraz district attorney announced that they transferred Liana in custody to Investigative unit 14.
She’s only 3 years old!
Her mother is also innocent but there’s no news of her as of yet.
🚨 Mohsen Shekari, one of those arrested in recent protests, was executed in Tehran this morning.
According to the Islamic Regime's court reports, Mohsen Shekari tried to "block" Sattarkhan Street on October 3rd and also "injured" one of the regime thugs.
He was denied of having an designated attorney amid the court hearings, and the complete prepare of his capture and cross examination was opaque and against the lawful measures.
I'm begging you to repost and share as much as you can.

No, seriously, I haven't seen even one post or reblog from a bigger blog. It is not about the country but about the people who are suffering for so long. Help them raise their voices so that they can get help and be free of shitty laws. I understand that the Middle Eastern countries have always been scary but what about the people living in them, the people who suffer every day, who can't raise their voices because they are buried before even opening their mouths? We can make a difference by just talking about it and sharing more.
We need to be more aware and help them more. That's how the change will come.
International women's day ❌
International working women's day ✅
The advent of the neo-liberal economy gradually replaced the International Working Women’s Day with the International Women’s Day. IWWD was the result of a long anti-capitalist struggle for social, political and economic freedom from discrimination against working women on the basis of gender.
The removal of the word “working” is a worldwide attempt to vilify the significance of this struggle. Today we take a stand against it and wish you all a Happy International Working Women’s Day.
Let us destroy the patriarchy and the capitalist society and become cognizant about and participate in this great struggle.

Be the voice of the students of Sharif university (Iran).
[Text transcription:
Dear Universities, Faculty Members and Academia Leadership,
The latest development in Iran protests is a direct threat to students not only in Iran but all over the world. There is no question that the young women and men of Iran and the student body are leading the protests on the streets of Iran. They're sacrificing their lives to fight for a future to practice freethought and freedom of speech.
Today agents of the Iranian government attacked students at Sharif University of Technology. Students have been shot at, arrested and held hostage on campus grounds.
Many others are being blindfolded and detained in an attempt to inject fear and terror and break the spirit of our freedom fighters, the students.
The resistance and achievement of Iranian students will set an example to all governments worldwide that they can't silence the voice of students.
