I feel like in 100 years someone will write a book about this chapter of history & people would say : “But how is it possible that the whole world just watched and did nothing for so long?”…Isn’t that what we say about the holocaust? #MahsaAmini #IranRevolution #IranProtests

The families of Iran’s World Cup soccer team have been threatened with imprisonment and torture if the players fail to “behave” ahead of the match against the USA on Tuesday, a source involved in the security of the games tells @kileycnn

The name of this beautiful Iranian girl is #MahakHashemi. She was savagely killed with batons by the Islamist regime while she was protesting in #Shiraz
The regime even demanded ransom from her family to return her dead body. Iranians are literally dying for freedom

An estimated 14,000 innocent protesters, fighting for basic freedoms, are facing the death penalty in Iran. Mostly teens & young adults, students, lawyers, journalists and civil society activists. This is a mass execution. – at Toronto, Ontario
Mona Ghiami (she/her) retweeted
I'm absolutely devastated and furious to see that the Iranian parliament voted in favor of the death penalty for an estimated 15K Iranian protesters.
Just like Tahirih, they were fighting for the right self-expression and to end oppression and violence.

We can and we must stand up for the courageous women in Iran and around the world as they fight for the most basic human rights, just like Tahirih did two centuries ago.

In an interview with @CBCNews, Iranian rapper and activist #ToomajSalehi speaks about the protests in Iran and his predictions. The interview was posted a day before his arrest. Thanks, @NahayatT. #MahsaAmini #مهسا_امینی #IranRevolution #توماج_صالحی

I can’t remember the last time these women joined to take a single position.
I commend them for this, but also hope they realize how Iran’s movement has made their solidarity possible.
Iranian women are reminding the world what feminism needs to be about: a universal cause

Journalist Masih Alinejad receives Oxi Courage Award for fighting against gender apartheid regime. I accepted the award to say “No to those western countries who still legitimize Islamic Republic”. The West must recognize Iran revolution.

Honored to share the stage at Oxi Courage Awards with Ukrainian President @ZelenskyyUa the hero of our time who has stood up against Putin.
He recognized Iranian’s fight against Khamenei’s regime. Our unity against dictators must be stronger than ever.

"It's not just one or two people we are here for ...It's millions of Iranians."
Demonstrators, some moved to tears, stood shoulder to shoulder calling for revolution in Iran as part of a series of coordinated protests across Canada. #FreedomHumanChain toronto.citynews.ca/2022/10/…
