Declaration of National Mourning
My Dear Compatriots,
Following the first stage of this great Iranian awakening during the past days, our wounded homeland has witnessed crimes against humanity, plunging the world into shock and disbelief as a result of a massacre like no other.
The blood that has been shed by thousands of our compatriots in Iran cannot be ignored nor be trampled on. The brave children of Iran have sacrificed their lives and poured their blood at the roots of the saplings of freedom.
You, the great nation of Iran, affectionately call me “The Mother of Iran. The “Mother of Iran” joins all mothers in Iran who have been denied the right to mourn the loss of their dearest children during this ruthless massacre. For this reason, I declare a National Day of Mourning on January 23, 2026 to be observed by all freedom loving Iranians throughout the world, and request that we all join in one minute of silence at 12:00 noon, local time, to honor our fallen children.
Let us reflect on our country and make a solemn vow that we will not rest until our Aryan homeland regains its freedom.
Light will prevail over darkness.

It is important on this day to say that some of us do not want children. I am childfree by choice.
And it is important to leave it at just that and not have people say “But you mother in other ways, not just by having your own children.” https://t.co/o5kH6PORil
Human Rights Watch says the Islamic Republic has executed at least 60 people in the past two weeks.
"The Iranian authorities’ dramatic escalation of executions in recent weeks is a serious violation of the right to life and should bring international condemnation," @hrw said.
In other words in just a few decades
Humans are undoing 3 billion years of ocean life
an ocean which may be devoid of life in just 30 years
And Capitalists think this is sustainable
and demand even more economic growth https://t.co/2VBzx2V8Gj
What we knew in 1953:
“The large increase in industrial activity during the present century is discharging so much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that the average temperature is rising at the rate of 1.5 degrees per century.”

Vast swathes of the ocean are now completely devoid of oxygen
“dead zones” are now 4 times larger than in 1950 — increasing by more than 4.5 million square kilometres since 1950,https://t.co/7LCHiGfJKj
Watch: This isn't really about staying below 1.5C anymore. The brutal truth is that goal has gone - and still they plan more oil and gas.

Criticizing Islam can get you killed in Iran. Today 2 Iranian men have been executed for the crime of “insulting Quran and the Prophet, apostasy”. Islamic Republic is ISIS but with oil and that is why the West is still legitimizing this barbaric regime. Otherwise the executions of Yousef Mehrad and Sadrollah Fazeli-Zare must be condoned by all the leaders of democratic countries and the West must recall their ambassadors.
Unfortunately the West is more keen to get a nuclear deal rather than supporting the young generation in Iran who want to have freedom of expression.
#JamshidSharmahd has lived in Germany since he was 7 years old. He does not hold any Iranian paperwork, but he was still kidnapped by the IRGC in Dubai and sentenced to death while the German government does almost nothing to demand his release.
I repeat: Jamshid is not an Iranian citizen nor a dual national. He is German. Yet he has been sentenced to death in a country where he has never lived and is not even a legal citizen.
The silence on this is deafening.
His daughter @GazelleSharmahd keeps us updated.

Arrested for peacefully joining street protests in Iran, the dissident rapper Toomaj Salehi has been detained in a high-security, isolation ward in Isfahan's Dastgerd Prison for 180 days and counting.
His life is in danger: https://t.co/SQBs6RdGcI.

Put the Revolution guard on the terrorist list. This is the demand of millions of Iranians inside and outside the country.

What an inspiration! This woman is so strong, so wise, so understanding, so kind, so well-spoken! I hope one day in the near future we truly comprehend the depth of her words and appreciate the work @AlinejadMasih and others alike are doing for our community and for all humanity!
In a ceremony hosted by @FLOTUS Jill Biden, @USAmbUN presented the inaugural Madeleine Albright Honorary group international Women of Courage award to the women and girls in Iran.
"We'll continue to stand with you in your fight for women, for life and for freedom," @USAmbUN said.
"Women of Iran are [Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei]’s biggest enemy."
Masih Alinejad (@AlinejadMasih) has been exiled from Iran since 2009—and she's continuing to speak up against the country's treatment of women https://t.co/HzU3Qa4bE1
تعدادی از زنان در منطقه سعادت آباد تهران به مناسبت روز جهانی زن با در دست داشتن پلاکاردهایی درباره حقوق از دست رفته زنان در ایران و همچنین در محکومیت حمله شیمیایی به مدارس دخترانه، ویدئویی اعتراضی تهیه و برای ما ارسال کردند.
زنان شجاع ایرانی از هر راه که بتوانند صدای اعتراض و صدای انقلاب ایران را به گوش همه میرسانند.
