#2022 iranian protests

[luminalunii97]

This is my favorite revolution song. It was first sung by culture and art students in Tehran. Others soon started to sing it. These days you hear this everywhere in iran.

I wrote this letter for you, from the ground of the cold alleys, with my red blood, so that the laughter would grow from the pain

As another day comes, my soul is the life of the green grass

The eternal sun of freedom is the light of our sky

I swear by the blood of my allies, I swear by the tears of mothers

Our eternal cry will never be cut by their blade

We are the flood of November blood, mixed with injustice

Our only sin was the roar of anger in answer to feud

My defenseless body and soul are the target of oppressors' arrows

I am glorified and proud of our revolution

I swear to the lovers of Iran, I swear to the fervor of Zahedan

I will not go back until the day of the usurper's departure

I swear by the blood of my allies, I swear by the tears of mothers

Our eternal cry will never be cut by their blade

💚🤍❤️

این نامه را برایت، از خاک کوچه‌های سرد

با خون سرخ خود نوشتم، تا روید خنده‌ها ز درد

چون روز دیگر آید روحم جان سبزه‌هاست

خورشید جاودان آزادی نور آسمان ماست

سوگند به خون همرهانم، سوگند به اشک مادران

هرگز به تیغشان نمیرد فریاد جاودان ما

ما سیل خون آبان، با بی‌عدالتی عجین

تنها گناهمان خروش خشمی بود در جواب کین

جسم و جان بی‌پناهم، آماج تیر ظالمان

مغرور و سربلندم و می‌بالم بر انقلابمان

سوگند به عاشقان ایران، سوگند به شور زاهدان

از راه رفته برنگردم تا روز کوچ غاصبان

سوگند به خون همرهانم، سوگند به اشک مادران

هرگز به تیغشان نمیرد فریاد جاودان ما

#NikaShakarami, one of the victims of the Islamic Republic, vanished during the #IranProtests

This child's traumatic story is one of the most painful crimes going on in Iran right now. She was sixteen! Her ID was with her when they arrested her, so they knew her age.

2/4

After her phone had been turned off, her WhatsApp, Instagram, and Telegram accounts were deactivated. Before that, she called her friend and said they were chasing me! The passwords were obviously taken from Nika. She was missing for 10 days! What did they do to this child?

3/4

Before handing her body over, her family went to Kahrizak three times without finding her.

Days later, her body was handed over to her family. Nika's nose was smashed, and her skull pounded.

4/4

At her funeral, which was on the same day as her birthday, her body was kidnapped by IRGC and buried in a remote place! Her aunt and uncle were arrested as well and threatened to keep silent or we would kill you!

They are so scared of her body, what happened to her?

Share her story. What happened to nika is a fucking tragedy.

REPORT: Approximately 400 Kurdish Youth Missing

Per IranWire, a human rights group has reported that approximately 400 Kurdish teenagers (including minors) have been "abducted" during the past few months. In a previous post, I've explained that as a minority Kurds are in even greater danger as it is, so this is especially concerning. Please bring attention to this situation and be these kids' voices.

If you guys haven't heard what's going on in Iran recently, please start paying attention. The corrupt Iranian government is killing innocent protestors, protesting the unjust murder of Mahsa Amini, among others. Tyrannical governments such as this have no place in the modern world. Please...reblog this to show your support in the fight against tyranny, and make sure these women didn't die in vain.

🚨 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.

“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.

For over four decades, the Iranian people have suffered under the unrelenting death grip of the despotic, treacherous Islamic regime. Yet never before has the potential for liberation seemed as viable as it does now.

Here’s the Latest Update of the Iranian Protests

[justinssportscorner]

Laura Clawson at Daily Kos:

The 2022 FIFA World Cup kicked off this weekend with a new round of controversies relating to its host country. Qatar got the right to host this World Cup in 2010 amid allegations of corruption and bribery and has spent the years since covering up deaths of migrant workers racing to build the stadiums and roads needed for the massive tournament.

Qatar has been accused of “sportswashing”—using the excitement of the World Cup to cover up its human rights abuses—but as the event finally got started, the country seemed more interested in flexing its muscle in ways that have called attention to exactly how oppressive its regime is. On Monday, seven European nations announced that their team captains had abandoned plans to wear OneLove armbands due to a FIFA threat of severe sanctions against anyone doing so.

The rainbow armbands were intended as a statement of support for inclusion and opposition to discrimination—and FIFA, on behalf of Qatar, came down hard, threatening the players from England, Wales, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland with yellow cards.

“We were prepared to pay fines that would normally apply to breaches of kit regulations and had a strong commitment to wearing the armband. However, we cannot put our players in the situation where they might be booked or even forced to leave the field of play,” the soccer associations of those countries said in a joint statement, adding, “We are very frustrated by the FIFA decision which we believe is unprecedented.”

FIFA is making it clear that it places Qatar’s oppressive anti-LGBTQ policies over any values of or even lip service to inclusion. And the players folded. Yes, the World Cup is the high point of any player’s career, but they caved to a threat of an on-field penalty rather than speaking out against oppression.

Also on Monday, Iranian soccer fans arriving at the stadium with Persian flags were turned away unless they surrendered their flags, which represented a protest against Iran’s theocratic government—the official Iranian flag has an Islamic symbol and message, while the Persian flag does not. For their part, and in stark contrast to the European players who abandoned their OneLove armbands, Iran’s players refused to sing the national anthem, while in the stands some fans booed the government anthem and others sang the Persian national anthem.

During Monday's FIFA World Cup action, Iranian fans and their team sent a message while European teams caved to FIFA blackmail about the OneLove armbands.
