This image has gone viral today. Tehran, Iran, Monday December 29th. A lone man blocking the road between regime forces and protesters. The people of Iran, under severe economic pressure and repression, are angry, fed up, and living in despair.

As if losing his son was not traumatic enough the father of Anjel Chakma, murdered by a racist mob in Dehradun described how the police initially refused to file an FIR calling the assault a “Chhota Mota” case - the father, Tarun Chakma is a BSF constable in Manipur . Godawful.
