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.

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.

For those who don’t know Voria Ghafouri, he is one of the most beloved and best football players of Iran. He has been an outspoken critic of the Islamic Republic. He is Kurdish-Iranian, plays for an Iranian team and lives in Iran with his family. His sister was also heavily involved in fighting the ban on Iranian women attending sports stadiums.  

We Iranians have a deep connection with football. It is the most popular sport in Iran and since the beginning, it has been closely connected to Iranian politics. We do expect our football players to stand with the people because they are from the people and of the people. That’s why we have been massively disappointed in Iran’s national team.

Although he lives in Iran with his family, Voria has never shied away from speaking out and standing with the people. Voria could face the death penalty for his activism. This is not the first time Voria has been arrested but it may be the last. 

All Iranians, like Voria, who speak out and criticize the Islamic Republic are risking their lives. They are brave, courageous heroes of Iran. 

Please keep on spreading the news about Iran. We have to be their voice and do everything we can to support them and to make sure that people like Voria are not executed.

everyday for the past two months it's been waking up in the morning to the most horrifying war crimes being committed by a fascist colonial power run by a death cult, followed by said power fabricating the most offensive and easily debunked lies to excuse said war crimes, then the entire fucking world media believing them and waving around their pathetic little crocodile tears as i pass by the news that the soldiers of that world power shot an old woman in the entrance of a hospital and used her as bait to shoot any medic who tried helping her, followed by a video of parents looking through the charred remains of children's limbs and scalps trying to recognize their own. and then i go to brazilian TV and find the news that a brazilian palestinian has finally been able to leave Gaza and all the reporters wanna focus on is how they're probably a terrorist because of these posts from 2015 where they condemn israel's actions. and then i look at the presidents of the only few nations who have the power to stop this genocide with a single phone call and how they entirely refuse to do shit about it, just to be told on tumblr dot com that praying for the dismantlement of the state of israel is evil and inconsiderate because don't you know they suffered really really badly in the past (but also please don't google the rates of poverty of holocaust survivors and how they're treated by the government of the country that was supposed to be a safe haven. well at least george from pennsylvania can move and have a beautiful view of the burned olive tress from the multigenerational house he stole in the west bank, and isn't THAT what really matters)

there’s rly a fandom Iranian here who’s catering to racist crackers’ fantasies by calling out “western leftists that are cheering on two terrorist states who are starting war to kill us all” or something. and ofc all their fellow fandom crackers are cheering on that stupid post because one diaspora fandom user is the spokesperson of all Iranian people

🚨🚨URGENT: Kurdish Citizens in Iran in Danger🚨🚨

It's been reported that nearly 100 Kurdish citizens have been arrested in Iran during the past two weeks. This is especially terrifying, since the optics of the regime's response to the protests in regions with minorities, such as Kurds, is somewhat genocidal in nature, for lack of a better word.

With such a large number of Kurds being arrested in a short period of time, one can't help but be worried about the fate that awaits them.

Please spread this post and be their voices!
