On @RealAmVoice with @AmandaHead and @jsolomonReports, I reminded everyone that on June 20th, there will be a rally in Paris attended by 100,000 people in support of a free Iran, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, and her Ten-Point Platform for the future of Iran. #100KFreeIranRally
Our stance is clear: No to war, no to appeasement, and no to the tyranny of the Shah or the Mullahs. We stand for a democratic republic of Iran. Ironically, Reza Pahlavi’s supporters attacked those advocating for this third path, freedom by and for the Iranian people.

🚨 Iran’s regime has UPHELD the death sentence against engineer Zahra Tabari, 68, for holding a banner reading “Woman, Resistance, Freedom.”
She faces imminent hanging after a sham retrial presided over by the son of the judge who initially sentenced her.
#SaveZahraTabari
Arrest and Background
Zahra Tabari, 68, is an electrical engineer holding a Master’s degree in sustainable energy from the University of Borås in Sweden. She worked for 30 years as a specialist for the Gilan Electricity Administration. Security agents raided her home in Rasht in April 2025 without a judicial warrant, confiscating personal electronics and placing her in solitary confinement for a month. She had previously been targeted by the regime in June 2022, when she was arrested for social media posts and sentenced to 18 months under house arrest with an electronic tag. She is currently being held in Lakan Prison in Rasht, where she suffers from chronic health conditions exacerbated by a lack of proper medical care and constant psychological pressure.
The Evidence and Charges
The Iranian authorities charged her with armed rebellion (Baghi) and maintaining ties with the opposition People’s Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI or MEK). The sole physical evidence brought against her was a piece of cloth found in her possession bearing the slogan "Woman, Resistance, Freedom"—which authorities claim she intended to use as a banner to challenge their rule—alongside an unsent audio message on her phone.
The Judicial Farce: Trial and Retrial
On 25 October 2025, Branch 1 of the Rasht Revolutionary Court, presided over by the notorious judge Ahmad Darvish-Goftar, sentenced her to death. The sentence was decided before the proceedings even finished; the trial itself was a sham 10-minute session held via video conference, during which she was denied her chosen legal representation and given a state-appointed lawyer who endorsed the prosecution's guilty verdict.
Following widespread global protests—including an urgent appeal by over 400 prominent international women leaders, Nobel laureates, and former heads of state—the Supreme Court theatrically referred her case for a retrial. However, the case was sent to Branch 2 of the Rasht Revolutionary Court, which is presided over by Mohammad Ali Darvish-Goftar—the son of the original judge, Ahmad Darvish-Goftar. Unsurprisingly, this branch rubber-stamped the original ruling on 14 April 2026, re-sentencing her to death on identical charges. This final verdict was officially served to her this past week.
International Reaction
United Nations human rights experts have explicitly condemned the initial proceedings, demanding that Iran immediately halt the execution. Eight members of the UN Special Procedures noted in a joint statement on 23 December 2025 that her case shows a pattern of severe violations of international fair trial guarantees and constitutes an inappropriate use of capital punishment for ill-defined national security offences. Because the case involves no intentional killing, the UN experts warned that executing Ms Tabari would amount to an arbitrary execution.

At #DCFreeIranRally, Kimia Arya stood in solidarity with the courageous youth of Iran at the forefront of tearing down tyranny.
"The regime fears these #women because they shatter the foundation upon which tyranny survives: silence, obedience, and fear."
🟥نایکه گروپیونی، نماینده پارلمان #ایتالیا:
🔴مردم #ایران همانطور که دیکتاتوری مذهبی را رد کردهاند، بازگشت به الگوهای سلطنتی گذشته را هم نمیخواهند.
🟠ایرانیان برای آزادی و حق انتخاب آینده خود میجنگند، نه جایگزینی یک سرکوب با سرکوبی دیگر.

🔎🇩🇪 A new report by the Hamburg State Office for the Protection of the Constitution (i.e. Germany's domestic intelligence service) says Iran's Intelligence Ministry is engaged in espionage activities in the West and that it is predominantly targeting the opposition MEK and NCRI.
هموطن،
وقتی توی ایران،
به خاطر گفتن یک حقیقت، یک جوان را اعدام میکنند…
وقتی بچههای این سرزمین را توی زندان شکنجه میکنند…
وقتی مادری حتی نمیداند فرزندش کجا دفن شده…
و دنیا هم خیلی وقتها فقط نگاه میکند…
آن وقت صدای من و تو مهم میشود.
شاید همین صدا،
امیدی برای یک انسان باشد
یا نگذارد یک جنایت دیگر در سکوت اتفاق بیفتد.
برای همین،
من هم همراه با صد هزار ایرانی در پاریس خواهم بود
تا نگذاریم صدای مردم ایران
زیر اعدام و سرکوب خاموش شود.
۳۰ خرداد فقط یک تجمع نیست.
یک فرصت است که نشان بدهیم
ایران و مردمش فراموش نشدهاند.
اگر دلت برای ایران میتپد،
۳۰ خرداد، جای تو در پاریس خالی نباشد.

نامهی تکان دهندهی پویا قبادی پیش از اعدام به مسعود رجوی:
بارها و بارها در خواب میبینمت در حالی که تنها تو هستی و من.
در حالتی بسیار صمیمانه و همراه با خنده و شوخیهای دلنشین.
همواره آرزو داشتهام و دارم که یکبار تو و یاران پاکت را از نزدیک ببینم و ایکاش این آرزو تاکنون بهواقعیت پیوسته بود...

Two generation of former political prisoners, a mother and daughter who have lost several loved ones, including children and siblings, to the brutality of the mullahs’ regime, continue to stand tall.
They advocate for the defense of political prisoners and the urgent campaign to stop executions in Iran.
This is the face of Iran’s resilient resistance movement: principled, unbroken, and determined.
Never give up. Never give in. #FreeIran
In this recent OAN interview clip with OIAC's Dr. Majid Sadeghpour, they focused on the question: "What What Are The Resistance Units Inside Iran Waiting For?"
#وقتی_شما_نبودید ویدئویی از پویا قبادی منتشر شد که تو زندان قبل از اعدام آواز میخوند:
ببین ایران چه مغرور ایستاده تن نداده
بدون میجنگه و پیروز میشه این اراده
Iranian-Americans from all across the nation gather and defend the rights of the people inside Iran. Month after month, we are out in the streets demanding freedom and justice for our brothers and sisters inside Iran.
