Schoolgirls in Iran in protest against the regime sticking their middle fingers to Khomeini and Khamenei

Please don't get distracted, listen to actual Iranian voices. This so called "misinformation" about the 14,000 to 15,000 prisoners being excicuted, (people that are also miners I might add) that is going around saying it's not true is just another way to distract you from what's happening in iran. The Islamic Regime has done multiple executions In their past, including not that long ago in 2019. Why would they hesitate to do it again once people stop paying attention to their crimes against humanity? The Regime wants you to forget about the voices in Iran, don't let that happen!

To the non Iranians who support the protests in Iran - Thank you.

It warms my heart to see so many invested in what's happening in Iran. This time truly feels different. I’ve been sitting with my family watching the news and clips on YouTube every night as well as trying to frequently contact family members in Iran, trying to get a glimpse of what's going on and constantly worrying. The bravery of the young women and men, girls and boys, who put their lives in danger to make their voices heard make me speachless.

There’s something that I'm seeing however that is happening in the western countries that is worrying me. 

The people who use the situation in Iran as a way to promote their islamophobia are just the other side of the same coin as the Mullahs in Iran.

It’s about a woman’s right to choose. Hijabis are walking side by side with non-hijabis because ALL women no matter what they believe in, no matter religion, ethnicity, are oppressed by the government. And don’t get me started on the regime’s oppression towards minorities such as the kurds, balochi, afro-iranians, armenians as well as the LGBTQ community. 

The willful blindness of the west in the complexity of the matter is not shocking to most of us, as this is quite common when it comes to issues in the Middle East. Burning your scarf as a white woman in the west in solidarity with the women in Iran, removing adds that include hijabs or telling hijabs to “take their hijab off” to show support is beyond ignorant and proves that people are not educated in the matter. 

When an Iranian woman burns her scarf or takes it off, it's symbolic for what has oppressed not only them but also generations of women, it's cathartic. But when a white person in the west does it - where poc, muslims and hijabis are oppressed - it sends out the wrong symbol and fuels the islamophobia that is brewing in Europe and America. You can help in so many better ways! One is to contact your politicians and demand for the vocalization of support for the protests, demand the sanctions on people affiliated with the dictatorial regime who have billions of dollars off-shore - in western countries. You can do a lot by spreading the word on social media, joining the protests and donate. We appreciate the help that we can get, but do not let the hate

(And for the muslims who are fumed by the burning of the hijab in Iran or by Iranians, kurds and others outside of Iran - this is not your fight. It's once again not about the hijab - it's about the oppression of a regime that has enforced laws upon an entire country and tortures the ones who do not follow them).

Be omide azadi!

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🚶🏻‍♀️

Raha Ajoudani is an Iranian 17 year old trans women and activist who has been arrested by the Islamic Republic for protesting for her basic human rights. Because she's still early in her transition, she will be tried as a gay man, which is punishable with execution.

The global LGBTQ community HAS to have her back now. Say her name to save her life. Blow her up on every social media platform you can thing of, make tweets, share on ig, anything. Make her viral.

this is SUCH an important read i implore anyone who doesn't see the complexity in why a lot of iranians who support palestine dont stand by the islamic republic of iran to take a look

School girls in Iran, take off their hijabs in protests against government and show their middle finger to Khamenei! 🖕 🇮🇷

Am I the only one who pictures the pro-islamic republic students in the school after islamic republic's fall ? Like ... It would be a bliss to force them to study history, our history! Real history! Where Iranians didn't accept Islam with open arms but were forced brutally by Muslims, every single cruel thing they did will be in our books , and they have to write the truth with their own hands on exams .

They have to repeat their names "mahsa", "Nika","Kian","khodanoor","armita","Sarina","Nadia" , "asra" , "keyvan","sepehr" ,"hadis","aylar"and "mehrshad" and...so many other names .

They will say those names.

Thousands of names will be shouted in those classes and we will tell our stories, our braveries and you will sit and listen, you will listen

The teacher will ask you about the dictators and you say your leader's name .

And you will say

How he was struggling to survive our rage , failed and got killed.

And year after year , that day will be celebrated.

You will say how your heroes who are called "soldiers of god" ran off to neighbouring countries from our wrath , and you will look in the eyes of the history teacher and tell her everything.

“Baraye” by Shervin Hajipour won a well-deserved Grammy last night, but that’s the minimum that the brave people of Iran deserve.

This awesome “Rage Against the Regime” shirt, along with other great designs by Iranian artists, was produced by @theazadico to raise funds for the Abdorrahman Boroumand Center for Human Rights in Iran @iranrights. Even if the t shirts are out of stock, I hope you still give some $$ to the center because they do invaluable work chronicling the human rights abuses in Iran, advocating for the people, and fighting for a transition to the democracy and human rights the people have been risking and losing their lives for.

My cat wants you to know that a graphic novel called "Femme, Vie, Liberté", a collective project curated by Marjane Satrapi (best known for "Persepolis") and edited by L'Iconoclaste, has been published in honour of Mahsa Amini and in support of the Iranian uprising.

As far as I know, the book is available in French, Italian and Persian - the latter is available online for free here:

The various graphic novels talk about the history of the Republic of Iran, the life of Iranian people and the events that triggered the protests against the regime.

I hope an English translation will come soon because this is a project that deserves to be shared by as many people as possible.

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

Why it's important to pressure our governments to declare Islamic Republic of Iran as a Terrorist organization.

For the Moonies who want to learn about the situation in Iran right now:

Women and AFAB people are cutting their hair as a sign of protesting the brutal, violent Islamic Regime that forces women and AFAB people to wear hijab, even if those people do not truly believe in Islam.

They're getting beaten and killed because they're asking for basic human rights.

Soheyla Hejab is in prison for forming a women's rights group calling for the end of the regime. She is a lawyer and a political and civil rights activist, and she deserves to be freed. Be her voice

Guys I get that you take modern technology for granted since you mostly think iran's current situation is just about hijab and refuse to do actual research but like...don't you think that there would be more messed up shit going on in a country where women get killed for their clothing or
