Schoolgirls in Iran in protest against the regime sticking their middle fingers to Khomeini and Khamenei

Since last night when we heard about the government launching drones to Israel because of Israel attacking the Iranian embassy building, there have three kinds of people here.

Some of us are laughing and making jokes about the possibility of war, not because we think it's funny, but because it's our coping mechanism. We've been going through hard times for years now.

Some of us are just... Empty of any emotion. We just don't care. Bad things happen a lot here, so what's one more bad thing?

And the rest of us... We're scared. I'm one of those people.

Remember the Mahsa Amini protests? Those protests weren't small or unimportant. Most of us Iranians hate our government. The government has been killing us and ruining this country for years now.

We're too worried about shortage of money and food and a home to live in to really care about anything else. We have bigger problems.

I'm not sure if this will help at all but I'm scared and tired of not speaking. I just wanted to make sure at least some people in the world would know that Iranian people really don't want this war.

I want to wake up tomorrow to be mad that I'm forced to wear hijab to school and be worried about my physics exam. I want to come back home to study because I want to be one of the people who will one day help build free Iran. I want to make sure we'll be known for our old history and amazing culture and happy people.

So understand why a war between Iran and Israel should not start. We're already fighting for basic human rights and in a war against our government. Isn't that enough war for one country?

Today marks one year anniversary of 2022 Iranian uprising against the oppressive Islamic Republic regime. An uprising that started with the brutal murder of a young kurd woman, Mahsa Jina Amini, for "inappropriate hijab".

For the past couple of weeks, the regime has prepared their forces to beat down any new movement immediately. The streets of Tehran and many other cities are lined with anti riot forces and police cars. In Saqez, the home city of Amini family, they've stationed the army around the city to massacre people in case they try to start another wave of protest. Mahsa's father has been arrested alongside some family members of other last year uprising martyrs.

There has been small protesting gatherings in Iran in the last two days, there has already been some arrests and violent crackdowns on protesters. I hear people chanting from my neighborhood homes. The government would commit as many bloodbaths as it takes to secure their position, but you can't beat people into obedience when they hate you from the bottom of their hearts.

As an Iranian person

Nothing in my life is more shameful and pitiful and embarrassing than seeing people who support the corrupt government of my country without knowing the slightest thing

Just go search (mahsa amini) or something

So that you might be a little ashamed of your behavior and support of an dictator

An Iranian girl, 16, has died after she was allegedly beaten by morality police for not wearing a hijab.⁠

The death of Armita Geravand comes after the one-year anniversary of the death of Mahsa Amini and the nationwide protests it sparked.⁠

“Unfortunately, she went into a coma for some time after suffering from brain damage. She died a few minutes ago,” the official IRNA news agency reported on Saturday.⁠ 😭😭😭

A 22 year old Iranian protestor is at risk of being sentenced to death. Please share. 

22-year old Mohammad Qobadlu has been sentenced to death at his very first trial session, to which the court denied entry to his lawyers, and is imminent danger of execution, according to a video message released by his mother. HRANA reports Qobadlu was tried on Oct. 29 at the Public & Revolutionary Court of Tehran under Judge Salavati on charge of “corruption on earth.” Prosecutors allege he drove a vehicle into motorcycle-mounted law enforcement agents, killing one. Besides the grave due process violations mentioned by Qobadlu’s mother, lawyer Amir Raisian has raised violations and inconsistencies in the case: - No images exist depicting the incident, the collision, or the hospitalization of medical examination of the agents involved -Preliminary reporting did not mention head wounds to officers involved in the collision, but the deceased officer died of a strike to the brain and skull fracture. The extent to which hospital treatment may have contributed to the cranial injury is not mentioned. -The criminal complaint gives the cause of the officer’s death as a car collision, but lawyer Raisian’s sources indicate only a skull fracture - no bodily injuries - was detected. Special force officers typically wear helmets, moreover. -The forensic medical authority ascertained Qobadlu’s mental fitness / sanity only on the basis of his own statements, neglecting letters from prison authorities stating he was mentally “precarious.” -Authorities present at the mourning service for the deceased officer made comments that were “not consistent with the car collision death narrative” said lawyer Raisian.

Interview with Nele, Nika Shakarami’s girlfriend by Zeit Magazine

‘‘Nika loved the moon, and it became an important symbol in their relationship, says Nele. When they missed each other, they would say: "We don’t live in the same country, but beneath the same sky." Sometimes, Nika would tell Nele over the phone that she was looking at the moon, saying: You should go outside too, Nele, so we can look at it together. They even called each other "my moonie." Or Niki and Neli. Or Haku and Chihiro, like the main characters in the anime film "Spirited Away," which both of them loved. The story involves a courageous boy helping a shy girl escape a world full of monsters. "That was us," Nele says today‘‘

Nika Shakarami was a 16 year old brave Iranian girl who was kidnapped by the police during the ongoing protests in Iran, brutally tortured, raped and murdered in cold blood. Her burial was on her birthday. Say her name, Nika Shakarami

I can't believe how everyone is falling for what Islamic republic is doing.

Did you forget Mahsa Amini? Or all the people who died in the protests?

And now you're cheering Islamic republic on? You're complimenting them and supporting them?

Well, as an Iranian, let me tell you something. We don't want a war to start. We're already miserable enough as it is.

Don't you dare forget Mahsa Amini. Don't you dare forget what Islamic republic is. Don't you dare compliment them when they killed and tortured and abused my people.

Don't you dare.

There have been reports after reports of gas poisoning at girls schools in mostly Qom, a religious city that is important to the regime. The weird thing is that the poisoning is only happening in girls schools (students are separated by gender at school). Many believe it might be intentional and the regime is trying to keep girls from coming to school by making it unsafe for them.

Hair-plaiting for the Iranian resistance

‘This was inspired by a daily ritual in which female fighters in the mountains plait each other’s hair while chanting: “Woman, life, freedom.” It was a response to the death of Mahsa Jina Amini in Iran.'
