Just reading/watching about the tragic death of Mahsa Amini following her arrest for incorrectly wearing the hijab. These women are so incredibly brave.

"Anti-government protests are taking place across Iran following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini on 16 September. Amini was detained in Tehran by a paramilitary unit that enforces Islamic dress codes after she reportedly didn’t wear the hijab correctly. She fell into a coma under unknown circumstances while in custody and later died, prompting outrage at religious police and security forces. However, despite its scale, analysts and diplomats are doubtful that the protests will lead to any significant change."

It seems the foreign media doesn’t want to cover this at all. Unfortunately behind the scenes it benefits them to have this government.

Thank you for that. I hadn't heard of him at all.

There is a guy literally starving himself to death outside the Foreign And Commonwealth office, he is a journalist and husband to a Cllr in Coventry, he's asking them to proscribe the IRGC (special forces of the regime) as a terrorist organistion they have a massive investment coproration that they use as a slush fund for the overseas crimes. He's putting his health on the line for the freedoms and safety of the women of Iran, but none of our guys are picking up on this!

@ AlinejadMasih

Iranian authorities are after these girls to arrest them for the crime of dancing in international women’s day. In the eyes of Islamic republic, these girls are master criminals for showing their hair, happiness and dancing. That is why school girls are being the target of chemical attacks. Be our voice and Let’s end gender apartheid regime together.

@ AlinejadMasih

Today teachers have taken to streets across Iran outside the city's Education Dept to protest chemical attacks targeting schoolgirls.
Many Iranians believe that these attacks are deliberate.
"Secure schools is our right!"
This slogan was heard.

Its beyond heartbreaking that they have executed 2 young boys so far. With many others sentenced to death.

they aren’t allowing them trials or proper lawyers. They kill them, bury them
and then inform their families.

there is currently a 15 year old boy they have sentenced to death.

i can’t wait for the these tyrants get their karma, i hope ever single one of them suffers

The situation is horrific and barbaric @Signalbox . These brave brave young people sentenced to murder. I do believe change is coming but at the gravest cost.
