Based on verification of images, reports and comparative investigative analysis by the International Centre for Human Rights, to date approximately 43,000 people have been killed, 350,000 injured, 20,000 arrested and await possible execution.
“Taken together, ICHR believes that this body of evidence, methods, and data presents a clear picture of a systematic and organized campaign of repression and mass killing; one that may silence the streets in the short term, but will not resolve the underlying crisis.
Silence by the international community in the face of such violent repression and crimes against humanity will only enable the repetition and escalation of these atrocities.”

See you tonight @CreweLyceum
Appreciate the interview below, where, perhaps for the first time, all my words were quoted in absolutely the correct order. Thank you 😊⬇️
INTERVIEW: Comedian @omid9 is performing @CreweLyceum next week. We sent along Claire Faulkner to catch up with him ahead of the show thenantwichnews.co.uk/2026/1…
Unexpected moment outside the court. “You should be ashamed of yourself!”
That’s not Russell Brand.
“Oh I’m thick, sorry” 😊

After years of having my words distorted in the media, it finally took the brilliant Claire Faulkner from Nantwich News to capture what I actually said in a short interview ahead of my show at the @CreweLyceum on Tuesday Nov 10th (tomorrow)

This happened yesterday. So this is where we are at right now.
“A despicable Nov. 8 protest against Jewish-owned restaurants in Philadelphia proves that the alleged bright line between antizionism and antisemitism is a dirty lie.
One target, Marti Lieberman, who runs a popular mac’n’cheese spot, explains that her business has nothing to do with Jews, Israel or Zionism — except that she sometimes wears a Star of David necklace.”

Omid, you are absolutely right. It is morally indefensible to speak of peace while demanding that the very regime responsible for decades of terror, mass murder, executions and brutal repression be allowed to remain in power. That is not peace. It is the abandonment of the Iranian people and a green light for their oppressors to continue their crimes.
Those calling for an end to the conflict without addressing the regime’s survival seem remarkably indifferent to the fate of millions of Iranians. Our people deserve more than a temporary ceasefire while their executioners remain in power.
Finish the job @POTUS @SecRubio !
It’s very simple. The ‘political commentators’ you see on our screens talking about “ending the war with Iran” by simply pulling out forces in the region and leaving the Islamic Republic in power, is exactly what the paid Islamic regime lobbies in the west are pushing for. Not one of them is thinking about the Iranian people and what freedom from this regime means for them. Allowing a regime to stay in power after massacring tens of thousands of their own people, and who continue to execute multiple innocent protesters daily (3 young men this morning) is clear insanity. The regime is a massive threat to the world. “Finishing the war” - but leaving this regime in power - is not only a betrayal of the people of Iran, it is a betrayal of humanity.

صبح زود از مرز فرانسه راه افتاده بود تا خودش رو به گردهمایی فرانکفورت برسونه.
با واکر، آرومآروم قدم برمیداشت...
پرسیدم: «چرا اومدی؟»
بغض کرد و گفت: «وظیفه.»
بعد سکوت کرد. من هم بغض کردم.
فقط گفت: «آرزوی آزادی ایران رو دارم.»

He’s asked him to take the job, and Dana White is meeting him on Monday to discuss it.
Must say, having the CEO of the UFC as the Whitehouse press secretary could spice up the briefings.
"I'd like to answer that question, if I may, by hitting you in the face with a chair."

Tomorrow morning I will be on @bbc5live with @GregoryPorter who will have no idea what he means to me. His power and control at the Polar Music Prize ceremony in Stockholm 2017 honouring Sting ranks this as of one of the greatest performances of all time. youtu.be/lSzICmwmRsA?is=Y0hb…

There's a grim contrast here.
Hungary is opening the archives of a dictatorship that once encouraged citizens to inform on one another.
Meanwhile, Iranian dissidents in Britain are reportedly being threatened for speaking out against a dictatorship that still exists.
Nobody should have to escape an authoritarian regime only to discover that its intimidation has followed them to Britain.
Freedom of speech means very little if we cannot protect the people brave enough to exercise it.
This week Hungary’s new government revealed the names of tens of thousands of state informants from the communist era in a move to confront the past and rebuild public trust. Also this week, the regime in Iran released their latest “kill list” of freedom activists in the West who deserve to die apparently for highlighting human rights abuses and crimes against humanity, asking other Iranians “to submit personal details about other ‘traitors’ they know.”
This Iranian regime 'kill list' targeting brave Iranian freedom activists in the UK is horrendous.
It underlines the need for us to take a zero tolerance approach to all aspects of the regime's threat to our democracy, people and communities.

Amid the bomb threats and flight diversions this morning, a statement from Aer Lingus confirmed that flight EI402 from Dublin to Rome "diverted to Normandy this morning as a security precaution."
How interesting that Iran’s Islamic regime would target Irish carriers.

Clear case of transnational repression: the Islamic Republic using physical or digital means to threaten, harass, silence, or coerce people living beyond its borders.
US Green Card holder, Mehrangiz Rastin, has been arrested in Iran for joining a demo against the regime in Arizona!

Shocking…
This is Taraneh Alidoosti. The actress who represented Iranian cinema to the world, the star of the film that won the Oscar. What did she do? She posted one photo without the hijab during Woman Life Freedom uprising in 2022 to show her solidarity with the People of Iran .
That is all. She said no to executions, no to the crackdown. That same week they came to her home and took her to Evin prison. When she was released, she was no longer the same Taraneh. Doctors diagnosed her with a rare illness that made her skin fall off and ravaged her body. She is still under treatment.
They say it was caused by drug interaction. Which drugs? What did they give her in that prison? No one answers. Today this photo is going viral across Iran because people want to see the price of one photo without hijab. To the regime it was just a photo.
To us, Taraneh is a woman who gave up everything: her career, her cinema, her health. And even now, in silence, mourning her father, she has not bowed. Taraneh, you did not just remove the hijab. You tore off their mask. We are your voice.
