Iranian bodybuilder and champion Mahdi (Masoud) Zatparvar was shot dead by regime forces while protesting in the streets on Thursday. Another athlete’s life taken for demanding freedom. 💔🇮🇷

Sad, pathetic, heart breaking. ANYONE who stands up against the sort of 'leadership' they have in IRAN is a hero in my book. Rest in Peace and Power, Mohsen Shekari. Hoping your bravery,strength, and activism serve as an inspiration for millions. Kratos would have LOVED you!

I am starting a hunger strike this week in Vienna, 41 years after my release, to demand the release of all hostages being held by #Iran. They are human beings, not bargaining chips. Their freedom should come before we make any deals with an untrustworthy regime. #FreeTheHostages

Why giving $1400 to individuals with $50k income and couples with $150k and not giving $2800 to individuals with $25k income? Is it because lower income people need the money so much that they wouldn't spend it on purchases that may stimulate economy? 🤔
