Before her execution, she recorded a message for her mother:
"I want the world to know what is being done to me."
Reyhaneh Jabbari was 19 when a former intelligence officer tried to sexually assault her. She fought back. He died. She spent seven years in Evin Prison. The world signed petitions. Iran sharpened the rope. She was 26. Iran hanged her anyway.

Under Sharia law in Iran, to prove rape, a woman must produce four male witnesses to the act itself.
Four. Male. Witnesses.
If she cannot, her accusation becomes a confession. She is no longer the victim. She is the criminal and faces flogging. Or prison. Or death.
This is not ancient history. This is the law that is still on the books today. The law that Abdul El-Sayed is asking Americans not to fear.
Women in Iran don't have a #MeToo movement. They have a noose.
@MCarayannis@centralNRL@dailytelegraph In Golden Point & last 5-10 minutes of a game when decisions are extra crucial. Refs should be allowed bunker review of these sort of 50/50 on the run calls. This may protect the on field referee from the backlash of the wrong decision affecting match outcomes.
A couple of days ago, I exposed how Hamas deliberately hoarded tons of infant formula and children’s nutritional shakes to manufacture a famine narrative in Gaza; consider this Vol. 2 of that same cruelty. This 2008 footage shows Palestinian boys, some as young as 14, crawling into suffocating smuggling tunnels to dig for hours in lethal conditions so that a vile terror mafia can profit while hiding behind their bodies and their childhoods. Hamas’s torture of young Palestinians is not an aberration but a method: starve our babies, exploit our teenagers, then weaponize their suffering as content for propaganda and as a human shield against accountability. If you claim to be “pro-Palestine” yet cannot bring yourself to condemn this systematic abuse of Palestinian children by Hamas, you are not standing with my people—you are standing with their oppressors. And remember, this was just the beginning of Hamas’s sprawling terror tunnel networks; their exploitation of children, teenagers, and unemployed Gazans got 10x worse in the lead up to October 7th.
Farakhanda was only 17. Just a teenager who should have been living her youth, not being forced to marry and dying in silence.
45 days after her wedding, she was killed, a so-called “mystery” death under the Taliban, which is no mystery at all. This is what state-sponsored femicide looks like when women’s lives are worth less than a man’s so-called honor.
And just two days ago, another afghan woman, this time pregnant, was left outside a hospital, denied entry because she refused to wear the mandatory face-covering. She lost her baby at the hospital door. She herself is now in a coma.
This is not just a story of one girl or one tragedy. It is a pattern of crime against humanity under an apartheid system that the world must not ignore.
Farakhanda joins a list of Afghan girls whose lives were stolen before they even began:
Girls forced into marriage before they become adults.
Girls beaten for “disobedience”.
Girls buried under the shame the family doesn’t want to carry.
Girls killed because under Taliban rule, a woman’s life is cheaper than a man’s honor.
And the Taliban’s regime is built on the bodies of girls like her.
Where are you?
Taliban just cut off internet in Afghanistan. Girls already banned from schools now lose online education too. A total blackout on knowledge = a blackout on the future. This isn’t “culture” , it is called apartheid against women.
What’s the difference between Boko Haram and the Taliban?
One kidnapped girls in Nigeria, and the world launched #BringBackOurGirls.
The other has erased girls’ education in Afghanistan banning schools, banning the internet, yet there is no global outcry.
Do Afghan women not deserve the same movement?

@RedVPodcast1 Who is the new assistant coach that replaced Ben Woolf and who is going to be the coach on the NSW cup team in 2025? ( I may have missed that conversation if you’ve covered that already)
@genesimmons Thank you for returning to Sydney 1 last time. I was with a beautiful girl who saw her first Kiss show in Adelaide as an 11 yr old in 1980, now her 2nd concert was your final Sydney show. 2 others in our group saw their 1st ever concert & loved it. I’ve seen many & loved it all!
@RedVPodcast1 Very happy Flanno appointed coach. I know a player in Manly u21 who trained w 1st grade squad pre-season, he said then Shane just has a presence about him &.is a great coach. With Flanno’s sharks links do you think Wade Graham would be good recruit to bring leadership 1 or 2yrs?
@katherine_deves Although I’ve seen some very inappropriately weird footage of Biden with children, I have my suspicions that this particular footage is not legit and has been doctored.
SHAME on United Nations for appointing the Islamic Republic of Iran as the Chair of the U.N. Human Rights Council.
SHAME on Western countries for not designating the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization.
SHAME on the West for wanting to get back to nuclear deal with our murderous regime.
Today 3 more innocent protesters were expected by the same regime.
The Islamic Republic of Iran executed more than 50 people in less than two weeks . They hanged 582 people last year.
When the Islamic republic being rewarded by the West after committing crime against humanity in this recent uprising, then there is no reason for them to stop killing more innocent people within the country.
The same regime is sending more drones to Putin to kill innocent Ukrainians as well. Empty contaminations are not going to save a life. When you don’t take strong actions against Islamic republic, you will face these terrorists on Western soil. Islamic republic is a dangerous virus which is going to infect the rest of the world.
Today the Islamic Republic executed-
Saeid Yaghoubi, Saleh Mirhashemi, and Majid Kazemi, despite their pleas of innocence and no fair trials. This is what Iranians have been shouting: This regime will continue to kill innocent people unless stopped.

@epDragon@dragons201085@RedVPodcast1 Well hello Mr.P..yes I’m sure between journos & player managers they help stir the pot for their mutual benefit. It’s an advantage to Tyrell too if he can stay with his mates who he has a successful combination with. Hopefully the right people get in his ear.
@dragons201085@RedVPodcast1 Maybe it’s a special skill a coach needs these days to gently manage expectations of this generation, I don’t know. If they listen to all the social media hype it could be easy to think you’re entitled to a spot. At Penrith Charlie Staines had that hype but didn’t get the spot.
