And yet the European politicians say Iranians are not ready for democracy 😂 Makes one wonder!

اتفاقات اروپا رو می‌بینم، فققققققققققققققققط یاد این سخنان شاهنشاه می‌افتم! که اروپا با شاه و مردم ایران پس از نسل‌کشی ۱۸و۱۹دی و اعدام‌ها و شکنجه‌های بعدش چه کرد! نوش! ایرانِ نامیرای ما، اوج و افول تمدن‌های زیادی را دیده! ولی ما ایستاده‌ایم؛ در تاریخ!

What a shameful bow, Mr. Fletcher! In January, the Iranian regime massacred thousands of my people. Today you, the UN's humanitarian chief, bow to their killers. This is not diplomacy. It is surrender to murderers. Are you the world's humanitarian representative, or the host of January's killers? @TomFletcher @UN_OCHA

They married by phone from separate prison cells. They executed a groom the morning after his wedding. Alireza Sepahi and Mahshad Kashani were engaged before they were arrested during Iran’s January uprising. Mahshad, just 22, was sentenced to five years in prison. Alireza was sentenced to death. The day before his execution, they were married over the phone. Their fathers listened as the vows were read. No embrace. No kiss. No holding hands. Just two voices saying “I do” through a prison telephone, while the Islamic Republic was preparing the gallows. This was not the first time they tried to kill him. In July, Alireza was taken to be publicly hanged. Minutes before reaching the gallows, under enormous psychological pressure, he suffered a heart attack. They rushed him to hospital. Then they sent him back to prison. Today, they came back for him. This morning, the Islamic Republic hanged Alireza Sepahi. He was 25 years old. For one day, he had a wife. He never got to hold her as his wife. He never got to kiss her goodbye. Think about the cruelty of a regime that is so terrified of young people that it cannot even tolerate their love. 💔
One of the most heartbreaking story. The Islamic Republic finally hanged him. They executed Alireza Sepahi this morning… I am crying again…I couldn’t save his life.. we couldn’t….💔

I’ve seen a lot said about Ed Miliband meeting the Islamic regime foreign minister. But this concise article by @JakeWSimons says it best: “When jihadists are your underdogs and democracies are your oppressors, you’ve lost the moral argument.” Our Foreign Secretary should take the time to consider how his handshake looks to the many thousands of Iranian parents “whose children were slaughtered like animals on the streets, or blinded and castrated with shotguns, or hanged for the crime of wanting freedom, or executed by armed men as they lay in hospital.” telegraph.co.uk/gift/3a7ab2a…

URGENT ACTION NEEDED. Today we learned that Ali Zarei, a political prisoner sentenced to death and one of the protesters shot in the eye during Iran’s 2022 Woman, Life, Freedom uprising, has been transferred to solitary confinement in Ghezel Hesar Prison. His transfer raises grave fears for his life. And now, another voice is reaching us from behind prison walls. Ali has already survived being shot and losing sight in one eye. He must not now be executed for his political activities. The international community, the United Nations, and governments around the world must act urgently. Demand that the Islamic Republic halt Ali Zarei’s execution and protect his life. Be his voice. Save Ali Zarei. #SaveAliZarei #StopExecutionsInIran
This is Ali Zarei’s voice from inside prison. Let’s be his voice and not let the regime take the life of another innocent Iranian. #Alizarei #Iran

Hello everyone, this is a message from inside prison, from a young Iranian woman who is about to be executed. Please help me to amplify her voice before they hang her. 💔 «Remember my name, maybe I will not be able to speak again.» This is the voice of Najmeh Amini, a 23 year old accounting student, speaking from Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad. In her voice message she says: «Be my voice. I am an innocent girl, a young woman full of hopes and dreams.» Najmeh is one of the detainees of the January uprising . She spent months in detention without a verdict, denied access to a lawyer of her choice and pressured during interrogation. In August, her trial was held at the Revolutionary Court of Mashhad on charges of «assembly and collusion» and «insulting sacred values.» She said in her voice message that her death sentence was issued on September 16, 2026. In her own words: «People, I only want justice and the chance to defend myself.» And this is her dream: «Before the rope ends my life, let me see my Iran prosperous and free.» Be her voice and all of political prisoners, especially those at risk of execution. #NajmehAmini #StopExecutionsInIran

4 years ago today, the terrorist Islamic Republic occupying Iran murdered Mahsa Jina Amini. The Islamic Morality police beat her to death because she wasn't wearing her mandatory hijab properly. We will not forgive. We will not forget.

Important post from the President of the European Parliament amplifying the voices of those demanding freedom. Must watch.
This is the story of Taraneh and Romina Rahimi. Twin sisters dragged from their beds, tortured, abused and sentenced by the Iranian regime. They are two of many young people in Iran facing death or imprisonment for the crime of demanding to live free. They will not go silently into the night. @Europarl_EN will keep their light shining until it breaks through the darkness.

Majid Adineh, a retired military officer and philanthropist, was arrested during Iran’s January national uprising and executed by the Islamic Republic on August 23. Before his execution, he left a poignant final message: “I was never someone who hurt anyone. Remember this, and do not believe whatever they show of me. I never harmed anyone, and I never will. I could not bring myself to cause anyone harm.” For more than two decades, he dedicated his life to serving his community, establishing two charitable organizations in Fardis and Mohammadshahr, Alborz Province, to support orphans, underprivileged families, and the homeless. The criminal regime that responds to compassion and service to the community with the gallows reveals its deep hostility toward human dignity, life, and the Iranian people. Say his name. Never forget him.

As if killing tens of thousands in cold blood and executing innocent protestors at the rate of 4 or 5 a day was not enough, a 43 year old mother of two has been sentenced to death by hanging for simply filming a retail store on fire during the January anti-regime protests. Witnesses say Abolhassani was only filming when she was arrested on the evening of January 8. Branch 5 of Isfahan’s Revolutionary Court nevertheless sentenced her to death on charges of participating in setting fire to the store. We are going to hear more cases like this as the regime in Iran is on the verge of collapse. Their last option is to continue killing for absurd reasons just to keep their brutal reign going. The real tragedy here is that many on here still think that continuing to kill innocent Iranians is just part of the “resistance” to western imperialism and the hanging of this woman is fine as long as a the IRGC and a load of old Mullahs in Iran think Israel and America should be destroyed.

A woman cuts her hair at her sister’s funeral in #Iran, because the regime shot her sister in the head for the crime of peacefully protesting and demanding freedom. Her name was Melika Dastyab. She was 21, a musician, economics student and she was dead by security forces while her sister stood next to her. Let me be clear with Western female politicians, especially those in leadership positions in Europe: Do not cut your hair in symbolic solidarity with Iranian women. Cut your ties with our killers. Believe me cutting your hair for Instagram solidarity, doesn’t scare dictators. It doesn’t save lives. It just makes you feel better. Stop legitimizing our terrorist regime.

STOP comparing Afghan women in burqas and Iranian women under compulsory hijab with Christian nuns. This really isn’t complicated. A nun chooses to become a nun. Her vow applies to her. She doesn’t take the vow and suddenly every woman in Italy has to cover her hair. And if she removes her veil, the morality police don’t show up to beat her, arrest her, or throw her in prison. That’s the difference. In Iran and Afghanistan, the rules don’t care whether you’re religious, secular, Muslim, atheist, or just want to be left alone. You’re a woman? Congratulations. The authorities have a dress code for you. And please stop pointing at little girls in hijab and calling it “choice.” Some of these children can’t even read yet. They’re old enough to choose a religious obligation for life, but apparently not old enough to choose what they want for lunch? Here’s the test nobody seems to want to take: What happens when a woman says NO? If the answer is guns and bullets, prison, beatings, losing your education, or being erased from public life, congratulations, you’ve discovered the difference between choice and coercion. And if you still think the Taliban model is somehow “liberating,” try it yourself. Cover up. Obey. Let religious authorities decide how you dress, where you go, whether you work, and when you’re allowed to speak. Then explain to Afghan women how empowered you feel. Is this really that difficult to understand? #LetUsTalk

Zeinab went into the street to protest. To demand freedom. For that, the authority charged her with “Moharebeh”, which means; enmity against God, means execution. If you ask me how you can help me and help Iranians save her life, to be honest, I don’t have an answer. 💔I don’t have power. All I have is my voice, and the ability to tell their stories. Because I was once a prisoner myself. And what I feared most was being forgotten, being left alone behind those walls, while the government erased my name and killed me in silence. That is why I keep telling their stories. So they cannot be erased. So they are not alone. I'm writing this for everyone in the free world who has ever joined a protest in your country: this is what they do to people like Zeinab Mousavi. They don't just arrest you. They put a death sentence on the act of showing up, in order to create fear and to prevent people from protesting against oppression. Zeinab Mousavi is in Vakilabad Prison in Madhhad right now, having seizures every night, being denied medical care, while her family waits in terror. A freed prisoner named Sepideh Qolian tried to tell her story to every major newspaper inside Iran. But every single one refused. Because Iran's system is built to make people disappear quietly, arrest them, break them, silence the witnesses, and wait for the world to move on. Execution is no one's right. Not Zeinab's. Not anyone's who ever stepped into a street and said: this is wrong.
This is another Iranian woman who is about to be executed soon. Every morning I write about someone Iran has just executed; within minutes, a message arrives from a mother, a sister, a friend, begging me to write about their loved one on death row. Before it's too late. That's why I want to write before this young woman's execution, not after. Arghavan Fallahi. 24 years old. Evin Prison. Sentenced to death. Judge Salavati, one of Iran's most notorious executioner judges, sentenced her on the charge of "Baghi," armed rebellion. For months in solitary confinement, she was subjected to severe psychological torture and pressure to extract forced confessions. But she refused. So they sentenced her to death anyway. Fellow female prisoners who were with Arghavan inside Evin say her situation is urgent. The torture has left her with severe psychological trauma and physical illness. She's not only facing the death sentence, she's suffering right now, inside that cell. But she's still alive and there's still time to save her life. Please, join me and help us Iranians say her name now and demand that the international community and world leaders pressure that republic to halt her execution and those of other political prisoners. #StopExecutionsInIran

A 44-year-old Kurdish woman in Iran has been accused of spying for Israel. Under the Islamic Republic, that charge could end with an execution. Her name is Shamsi Khosravi. She is from Saqqez the city of #MahsaAmini who’s killing in the hand of morality Police sparked a revolution in Iran. The charges: "corruption on earth" and espionage for Israel, the regime's favorite accusations when they want to kill someone and need the world to look away. She is now in Qarchak prison. One of the most brutal facilities in Iran, where women are sent not to be held, but to be broken. Her family say that, she is not a spy. She is a Kurdish woman Iran wants to disappear. #StopExecutionsInIran

Urgent: Iranian kickboxer is going to be hanged very soon after supreme court ruling! I beg everyone: listen to his brother’s voice in this video and help us stop the Islamic Republic from executing him. Benyamin Naghdi, is only 26-year-old, and he is a champion from Shiraz. His brother says Benyamin wanted only one thing: a free Iran. He also says that for every person the Islamic Republic kills, others will rise to continue their path. The regime wants these voices to disappear. It wants to silence Benyamin forever. Please be his voice. Be his family’s voice. Before it’s too late. Call your leaders to demand Islamic Republic to stop killing him. #SaveBenyamin #StopExecutionsInIran

Beyond sad. He’s been given a second life, but the reason want to kill him anyway. We need your help. This young man, was scheduled to be executed alongside two other protesters in Iran on Tuesday. But before hanging him, his heart gave out from pressure. They rushed him to hospital, not out of mercy, but to keep him alive long enough to hang later. His name is Alireza Sepahi. He is still alive. We need international media to talk about this war being imposed on unarmed Iranians. #StopExecutionsInIran
