The photo on the left is taken for my mom's passport! I wasn't grown enough to have a separate passport, but apparently grown enough to be seen as a sexual object! They only accepted photos with hijab! I had to wear hijab since the age of 7! #LetUsTalk about hijab as oppression
In Iran I was told if I don’t wear hijab, I get kicked out from school, I get jailed, lashes, beaten up, and kicked out from my country. In the West I’m told, sharing my story will cause Islamophobia. I’m a woman from Middle East and I am scared of Islamic ideology. Let us talk.

Milad Hassanzadeh, 17, wrote a will before he went out to protest for freedom, & killed by direct gunfire. His brother tells me, instead of mourning, the family played his fav song, Alireza Talischi's "Ghaf" to celebrate his life during his funeral.

Euphoric scenes are a snub to theocracy’s culture of piety, say analysts, and carry message of rebellion

“Pools of blood, hundreds of gunshots”: I am a surgeon in Iran — this is the horror I’ve witnessed in the crackdown. In testimony given to me and @ICHRI, an Iranian surgeon reveals what transpired in hospitals in the dark on January 8 and the next 24 hrs.

I’ve worked as a surgeon in disaster zones. Nothing compares to the nightmare I saw in Iran’s hospitals when the state started shooting protesters

Milad Hassanzadeh, was only 14 when he joined the Woman, Life, Freedom movement. Was jailed for it. Now 17, he stood on the front lines to fight for a better future for his country. The regime's forces shot and killed him. He wrote a will in case he's killed ⬇️

اینکه پنجشنبه و جمعه چه اتفاقی افتاد برای کسی روشن نیست. ما نمیدونیم چی شد. هر کدوم از ما یک جزء رو دید ولی این جزئیات الزاما منتج به یک دید کلی نشد. من از ساعت ۷:۳۰ پنجشنبه بیرون بودم و در آدمها نفر یه نفر جمع شدند و به هم پیوستند/

Just want to put this out : "The killing has stopped" is not an accurate description of what's happening in Iran. Over 26000 arrested, and there's no update on their wellbeing. Reports are still coming in of protesters killed under torture.

به عنوان کسی که از صبح تا شب مردم رو ترول میکنه باید بگم که اگر میخواهید در این جنگ پیروز باشید مخصوصا در مقابل سایبریها، کلا واکنش بهشون نشون ندید و کار خودتون رو بکنید. الان هم اصلا وقت واکنش نشون دادن نیست چون هدف سایبریها یک چیزه: چند دستگی ایجاد کردن و وقت و انرژی رو
