Nika shakarami, a 17 year old iranian girl who went missing for ten days after attending a protest against the government.

Her family asked about her whereabouts from the police almost everyday but the police always said the they didn't know and that she wasn't here.

Before Nika was arrested she called her friend/family and told them that she was being followed by the police and that she was afraid.

After that nobody heard of Nika again.

After 10 days her family was finally able to see her to identify her body.

Her skull was broken and her face was fully smashed because of repeated hits to hear head and her face.

Her family also says that there were stitch marks on her body, likely because they opened her body for reasons that are unknown as of now.

There are also claims that Nika was repeatedly raped as well. And with how the polic is handling the situation I don't doubt that this is the case.

The police is uncharacteristically very scared about any information that might get out on the internet about her death. They are so scared that they have threatened to kill Nika's uncle and aunt if her family speaks any more about her death and they are pressuring her family to come to tv and say that her death was not by the police.

The police took (stole) Nika's body and buried her without her family's knowledge, because they were scared about what they would find on her body.

Please be the voice of Iranian people and please be the voice that Nika and her family desperately need at this time of sorrow.

Don't let the horrific death of Nika, a teenager so full of life go unpunished.

A Roman coin depicting Julius Caesar, reading "Caesar Dict Perpetuo" -- or Caesar, Dictator for life. On the back, we see the name L Buca -- Lucius Buca, one of the men in charge of making coins for the Roman empire -- along with the fasces (symbols of Roman power), a globe, shaking hands, and an axe. Caesar was named dictator for life after defeating Pompey in a civil war; a group of senators, furious that he would not share power, assassinated him.

To quote my mother, who grew up under a dictator:

"Dictatorships are born in whispers."

Pay attention to every bill or executive order. Don't ask how it'll benefit the country. Ask how it'll benefit the one trying to get it passed. You'll start noticing the whispers.

To those who say, "Stop reading between the lines." No. Always read between the lines. Never take a politician at face value. This goes for all politicians regardless of party.

Look at their history, listen to their words, and ask yourself, "How is this benefiting them?"

Abducting, kidnapping, disappearing innocent people to foreign torture prisons without due process... I mean I'm pretty sure at some point we'll be having America's version of the Nuremberg trials.

The situation in Turkey has already gotten worse.

The official death toll for the earthquake is now over 11,000 people, there's still barely any emergency services in some parts of the country, and Erdogan's telling his subjects that everything they're experiencing is all part of God's plan.

Twitter in Turkey is being shut down, and now Twitter and basically most other social media is being made inaccessible. This is a huge problem not just because it restricts people from speaking out against Erdogan and his government but also because social media, especially Twitter, is a major platform people to spread info about the earthquake, find out about victims, and spread donation links. A lot of emergency aid is getting there through Twitter links, even Greece used Twitter to contact the injured. But of course, Erdogan can't have all that dissent also spreading.

Also, the only way Turkish people can access Twitter right now is through a VPN, but now VPNs are illegal there and Erdogan was out there saying that he will arrest anyone using a VPN. People living in Turkey are having their accounts blocked and suspended, and even their credit cards are blocked from Twitter. Right now I'm not expecting Elon Musk to do anything useful about that.

Turkey still needs all the help it can get. And most of all it needs Erdogan out of power - dragged out, if need be.

Went into a village, realized it was under a dictatorial government, overthrew the government, then left.
