Are you looking for a way to support the people protesting in Iran?
Zhina Amini (Reported as Mahsa Amini, her birth name) a Kurdish woman was killed earlier this month by the morality police in Iran for wearing a headscarf in what they deemed to be an improper manner. Protests have since broken out across the country and a number of other Iranians have been killed since.
The internet has been shut down in many places and deaths are incredible common. The last time the Iranian government shut down the internet like this, over a thousand people died.
So what can you do?
Share Iranian people’s words and news about what is going on.
Recognize that this is not about Islam but about a tyrannical government (so don’t use this as an excuse to be Islamophobic). These people need our support, not our commentary.
Help support Iranians gain access to proxies through apps like the Tor Project’s Project Snowflake. This will pair you, who is likely in a safer country (I say as someone in the US who assumes much of following is in North America or Europe), with an Iranian person trying to access the internet as long as you are online. This is a really simple step you can take to help Iranians connect to the outside world so they can use their voices and let loved ones know they are alive.

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🚶🏻‍♀️

In solidarity with Iran’s protesters, artist Mobina Nouri took scissors to her own hair and invited others to do the same in her latest performance at San Francisco’s Legion of Honor.
Nouri told Hyperallergic that hair has become the symbol of the resistance in Iran and she wanted to engage the audience for “The Wind in My Hair.”
“For me, it’s about all my friends and sisters and brothers inside Iran. They’re a super young generation and they’re super brave, going to the streets, with their life in their hands, for the hope of having a basic freedom,” the artist said.

Hi,
Iran may be far away for some of us or close at hand for others, but it does not matter. It is a fight for freedom that needs global support and attention. Even if you can only afford to donate a dollar or a share or a reblog - please do what you can.
If you cannot donate through this link and wish to, any donations/tips I receive through kofi or tumblr will go straight here. I will send you screenshots of proof or post them to this thread.

KEEP UPLOADING CONTENT FROM THE PROTESTS!
Do not ignore these voices, if you can upload their content onto different platforms and spread the word.

There is no place for political imprisonment in a functioning, democratic society.
Evin Prison in Tehran, Iran is no ordinary prison. Since 1972 (for 50 years! Half a century!!) it has been the primary site for the housing of Iran's political prisoners. Due to the number of intellectuals, students and other elite members of the intelligentsia housed there, Evin Prison is commonly referred to as “Evin University”. Many (my own mother included) used to say “Evin prison could declare independence” (because they have everyone. From diplomats to doctors. From journalists to students.). Many of the prisoners there are more fit to run the country than the current leaders.
Tumblr media
Evin‬⁩ is no ordinary prison. Many of Iran’s best & brightest have spent long stretches confined there, where brave women & men are denied their basic rights for speaking truth to power. The regime is responsible for what happens to those inside right now.
Political prisoners aren’t the only innocent people there. There are innocent journalists, poets, filmmakers, artists, activists and LGBTQ+ people unjustly held in that prison. All because they want basic rights. All because they want to be treated with basic human decency.
Tumblr media
As of 3:00 pm (EST) October 15, the Evin Prison has been on fire. Many who live nearby say they heard gunshots days prior to the fire. At least 4 explosions have happened so far and there will be more.
Two days ago Mehdi Hashemi Rafsanjani, son of the former president and an Iranian elite “businessman” Aghazadeh, was released from the prison on a break and was to go back after two days. He was told not to. After two days of him not being there, the prison burns down with explosions and gunshots that can be heard from streets away. Coincidence? I think not. Even though they “arrested” one of their people, he wasn’t there when Evin caught fire. The elite will never get hurt because they ARE the regime.
Tehran is taken over by the scent of blood and smoke.
Tumblr media
The Islamic Republic is responsible for all those lives unjustly behind bars. Tonight they commit arson in the name of arson. They will attempt to say it didn’t happen or that it was an accident. A gas leak or some other lie. They did this just like they did everything else. Here’s just to name a few:
Cinema Rex Fire (1978), Sanchi Ship (2018), Metropol Building Collapse (2022), Flight 752 (2020), Massacre of 1988, Plasco Building fire (2017), Violent raids on the dormitory of Tehran University (1999), the continues hate crimes (rapes, conversion and killings) or non-muslims, not to mention the amount of people who’ve died due to poverty and/or in protests.
Just days ago, government forces attacked an intermediate school in Ardabil, Iran. A pre-school aged girl was beaten to death (at her school, in front of her peers) for engaging in protests.
For the Islamic Republic Regime of Iran, it has always been geniuses vs. guns.
There is nothing we can do but to spread the word. To spread awareness. To make Iran-related hashtags trending again.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would use my Tumblr account, which is meant to be for me to interact with people in different fandoms all in good fun, to talk about something like this. I feel so terrified and helpless. Pease repost!

People from first world countries who dismiss middle east's pain because "that's just how things are there" are way too comfortable sharing their lack of empathy
It's funny because the moment something happens to them they're horrified. They aren't used to tragedies, these things "aren't supposed to happen to them"
But our suffering should be normalised huh?
