In an interactive story, a civilian in Tehran chronicles a country trapped between bombardment and repression—too terrorized to move, let alone start an uprising. https://t.co/PMbQYK2VAo

Mehdi Mahmoudian, the activist and Oscar-nominated co-writer of “It Was Just an Accident,” speaks about the abuses he’s witnessed and endured, war between the U.S. and Iran, and the true stories behind the film. https://t.co/rKuuzrhkGn

یکی از کارکنان بیمارستانی در رشت از صدها مدرک، از جمله سی‌تی‌اسکن و رادیوگرافی، عکس گرفته و نگه داشته. یکی از این تصاویر استخوانِ خُردشده‌ی ران مادری ۴٧ساله را نشان می‌دهد که وقتی خودش را سپرِ پسرش کرد، گلوله خورد. در اسکن مغز یک پرستار که هنگام خروج از بیمارستان تیر خورد، ساچمه‌ای فلزی در ناحیه‌ی سر دیده می‌شود. مأموران حین عمل جراحی با کادر پزشکی درگیر می‌شدند. یکی از انترن‌ها، پس از اصابتِ ساچمه‌ی فلزی از نزدیک، بستری شد. مادری شتابان وارد بخش شد و عکس پسر گمشده‌اش را در گوشی‌اش به جراحان و پرستاران نشان می‌داد. پس از رفتنش، مأموران جنازه‌ای آوردند که صورتش صورتِ همان پسر بود. دست‌هایش را بسته بودند و جای گلوله‌ای در سرش بود...

The Iranian regime has targeted wounded protesters seeking help. In response, medical workers throughout the country have forged secret units to treat those injured in the uprising. https://t.co/ZYA12KWwdn

[Karim Sadjadpour @ksadjadpour]

Powerful piece by @CoraEngelbrecht on the heroism of Iran’s doctors and nurses, risking their own lives to treat thousands wounded protestors. This concluding quote is a widely heard sentiment: https://t.co/2UtuMzo601

Today, my father was convicted simply for being my father.

This is how the Hong Kong government retaliates against me and my pro-democracy advocacy. This is hostage taking. This is transnational repression.

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

After Iranians took to the streets in Mashhad, security forces opened fire on the crowd. An eyewitness shares his experience of the massacre. https://t.co/s6gMHoPJX8

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

The U.S. sanctioned six Chinese and Hong Kong officials for targeting pro-democracy activists overseas.

@CoraEngelbrecht spoke with more than 30 Hong Kong activists who fled to the U.K. The harassment and violence they tried to escape have followed them: https://t.co/6Q16maiXLO

[Carmen Lau 劉珈汶 @carmenkamanlau]

During this difficult time, we finally see another sanction targeting human rights perpetrators who put $1 mil bounties on me and 18 other Hong Kongers who trying hard to make our voice heard. Looking forward to seeing other allies taking action too.

Thank you @TheAtlantic and @CoraEngelbrecht for shining a light on the important work of our colleagues. I look forward to the day when we can honor these brave journalists by proudly using their real names instead of pen names.

What an outstanding profile, such insightful answers, and beautiful photos from Amu Television. I wish my colleagues even more success, as they are undoubtedly a beacon of hope for a democratic Afghanistan.@AmuTelevision @CoraEngelbrecht

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

The exiled Afghans of Amu TV are holding the Taliban to account—from 7,000 miles away. @CoraEngelbrecht reports: https://t.co/6YBbtaHn8X

Women in Iran are defying mandatory hijab in public. Hair is suddenly everywhere: left long and flowing in the malls; tied in a bun on the streets; styled into bobs on public transportation; and pulled into ponytails at schools and on university campuses

[max seddon @maxseddon]

Two days after the US published a report claiming Russia has abducted at least 6,000 Ukrainian children, children's rights commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova tells Putin she "adopted" a 15-year-old from Mariupol herself.

"All thanks to you, Vladimir Vladimirovich!"

A powerful earthquake struck Turkey and Syria before dawn on Monday, killing more than 3,800 people, destroying thousands of buildings and shattering lives in a region already rocked by war, a refugee crisis and economic distress. https://t.co/WPRiqurVkQ

[The New York Times @nytimes]

A powerful earthquake wiped out apartments, shops, even entire neighborhoods across northwestern Syria on Monday in scenes that were all too familiar to a region devastated by years of civil war. https://t.co/XHznBEcfZr

[Nilo Tabrizy @ntabrizy]

Four months into Iran’s uprising, protesters are still in the streets while authorities respond with violence & mass arrests. @atthar_mirza and I looked into one of the biggest centers of protests in the country—Sistan-Baluchestan province in the southeast https://t.co/hL1noYcI1m

What does it feel to be exiled? To live a life without a stable centre? I wrote about my city, Homs, Syria & the pain of forced displacement. I’m one of the millions of people who long & yearn for a lost home - The New York Times ⁦@nytopinion⁩ https://t.co/t8lhFpD07U
