Don't cry, Baba. 😔💔
Hours before his execution, Alireza Raeisi was allowed one final phone call from Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan. His father was crying on the line. So Alireza, with hours left to live, tried to comfort the man who raised him.
"What can I do, Baba. They want to take my whole life from me."
Then he asked for one last message:
"Say hello to my uncle. Tell him I'm looking after Ramin over there."
Ramin was his cousin. The son of that same uncle. He was shot dead in the streets of Isfahan during the protests. Now the regime has hanged the other one. At dawn. In secret.
This is what the Islamic Republic calls justice: 18 days of torture. Electric shocks. A forced confession. A trial lasting minutes. An appeal thrown out in less than 48 hours. A gallows built beside a Revolutionary Guard executioner.
They think the rope will end the uprising. The rope is only creating more anger towards society.
When I talk to any of the family members of those who are in prison on the death road, they have a simple demand: tel the world: #StopExecutionsInIran, demand accountability for these unlawful executions. Sanction the judges and executioners. Silence is complicity.

The regime wants to hang her to make an example.
The death sentence of #Pakhshan_Azizi has been confirmed for the third time.
She is one of many brave women the Islamic Republic is trying to punish for the “Woman, Life, Freedom” uprising.
And yet… the free world still does business with this government. The world still treats this regime as legitimate. Meanwhile, women like Pakhshan, on death row, inside prison, declare the regime illegitimate without fear.
Be her voice.
My open letter to the Education Secretary @bphillipsonMP
Many teachers and school leaders share my concerns with regard to her decisions but are scared to say.
If you can find it in you, please RT.

“We feel the economics of padel are more positive in outdoor venues...”
In the second part of our interview with Michael Gradon, he explains why Game4Padel has focused on outdoor clubs, avoiding the warehouse model that’s spreading across the UK.

In Iran, a student harassed by her university’s morality police over her “improper” hijab didn’t back down. She turned her body into a protest, stripping to her underwear and marching through campus—defying a regime that constantly controls women’s bodies. Her act is a powerful reminder of Iranian women’s fight for freedom. Yes we use our bodies like weapons to fight back a regime that kills women for showing their hair.
This happened at Tehran’s Science and Research University She has since been arrested by the authorities.
Be her voice.

Some data for breakfast time: greenhouse gas emissions per kilogram of different milks.
The production of cow's milk causes the highest emissions – oat milk the lowest.
