๐จAs of yesterday, the Islamic regime opened up the Internet at around 30% connectivity. Forced to do it for their own interests as the country was near to complete paralysis.
As such, hundreds of videos have now come through on the telegram channels. Iโve seen about 10% of them. I have now stopped.
We always knew what this regime was capable of. The cruelty, savagery and barbarism that I am seeing now is on a different level. It is not just the foreign militias hired by the regime from Iraq and Afghanistan to do their dirty work. It is also Iranian security forces against their fellow countrymen, unarmed civilians.
The numbers being killed each day is increasing at such an alarming rate it is beyond shocking. Bodies are piled up on the streets of the major cities in black bags like garbage. Equally staggering is the silence and inaction by the international community.
Hitler tried to exterminate the Jews. What we are witnessing in Iran in real time is a government trying exterminate a segment of their own population that that does not agree with them. Even if itโs the majority, there is no stopping them.
What gives people in Iran hope is us not looking away. But most importantly - in the brief moments the internet allows them - to glimpse messages of support from people on here. Because it make them feel less lonely.
All eyes on Iran.

@JR_G51_2XD@ClydeSSB If you draw in Greece and beat Denmark you qualify on 14 points with Denmark on 13, presuming they beat Belarus. As I said, the game in Athens is important; you'll need at least a point.
@JR_G51_2XD@ClydeSSB Not true at all. If Scotland lose in Athens and Denmark beat Belarus in Copenhagen, then Denmark effectively qualify due to far superior GD.
@TheCoopLive@EventCupSols Have you sorted out the refillable water points yet? I bought a collapsible water bottle especially last year to use at your venue, only to be told there weren't any water points! ๐ค
To mark #BlackHistoryMonth2024, I took a group of amazing students from @RCDivineMercy on a tour of our city-centre to learn about how, in 1862, the humble cotton-workers of Manchester took a stand and refused to handle slave-picked cotton.๐๐ป
