I find these words from an Iranian doctor to be among the moving in our recent @thisamerlife episode...
In this clip, "Anushirvan," performed by @BTafti, speaks about "the most difficult moments" of the regime-imposed internet blackout.
In case you missed it, here's the link to the full episode, "Blackout" - https://t.co/iXhtSWUQee

The blackout is now in its 76th day, according to @netblocks.

🌍 #Iran's digital isolation is now entering its 77th day as the internet blackout passes 1824 hours. The measure presents an emerging mental health risk to the public, who are largely cut off from online platforms, communications, and normal interaction with the outside world.
📉 #Iran's internet shutdown has entered its 52nd day after 1224 hours. Metrics show that the general public remain cut off from international networks, while authorities continue efforts to segregate users and provide selective access to favored groups.
We wake up every morning to the news of another execution.
They are traumatizing an entire nation.
This morning the Islamic Republic executed Ali Fahim, another detainee for protesting.
With this execution, the number of political prisoners put to death in Iran’s prisons over the past week has risen to 11.
Say their names.
Do not normalize this.
#StopExecutionsInIran
⚠️ Update: A full week has now passed since #Iran fell into digital darkness under a regime-imposed national internet blackout.
The measure remains in place at hour 168, leaving the public isolated without vital updates and alerts while officials and state media retain access.
Several doctors and nurses inside Iran helped us tell this story with the team at @nytopinion by sharing accounts and images from inside hospitals, revealing details of the regime's bloody crackdown on unarmed protesters last month.
I was shaken by their descriptions of the violence but also inspired by their selflessness and courage.

The Iranian regime massacred its own citizens when protests swept the country last month. As injured and dying protesters flooded hospitals, medical workers began smuggling evidence of that violence and brutality out to the rest of the world, despite the risk to their own lives.

رژیم ایران وقتی ماه گذشته اعتراضها سراسر کشور را فرا گرفت، شهروندان خودش را قتلعام کرد. با سرازیر شدن معترضانِ زخمی و در حال مرگ به بیمارستانها، کادر درمان با وجود خطر برای جان خودشان، شروع کردند شواهد آن خشونت و بیرحمی را مخفیانه به بیرون از کشور و به جهان منتقل کنند. | 📷

Their names and faces will not be forgotten. Every person who died trying to bring down the Islamic regime so that others can one day live in a free Iran with human rights and fair democracy will hold a special place in the nation’s history.
Thousands of men, women, and children have lost their lives in repeated waves of resistance over the past 47 years, not just today but across decades of struggle.
Xray of a 10 year old girl who presented to a hospital in Shiraz on January 8th. The massacre was indiscriminate and all-encompassing, affecting women, children, and the elderly alike.
Iran’s internet blackout has lasted 180 hours (7.5 days) and may continue for the next two months, possibly indefinitely. Families can only manage two-minute calls to confirm they are alive—or to learn someone has been killed.
Be our voice!

⚠️ Update: At 180 hours, the total internet blackout in #Iran now exceeds the core duration of the 2019 shutdown, and there is still no partial or regional restoration.
in 2019, it was only after connectivity was restored that the scale of the brutal crackdown became known.
Hospitals in Iran are being attacked, with wounded patients abducted and healthcare workers targeted for providing care. This is a clear violation of international humanitarian law. Medical care is not a crime, and silence from global health org is complicity. @WHO@MSF_USA
Iranian authorities are brutally cracking down on nationwide protests. At least 27 protesters and bystanders, including children, have been killed in just over a week.
Iranian authorities should cease the use of unlawful force and release those arrested for exercising their human rights.

**Colleagues and friends!**
We need your help! Please email your parliament members and ask to take an action or at least say something! This is an urgent matter🙏🏼
#Mahsa_Amini#MahsaAmini#مهسا_امینی
Iran has issued two known death sentences over ongoing protests, triggered by the death of Mahsa (Jina) Amini in police custody.
The international community should press Iran to quash these death sentences.
Please see our correspondence in @Nature about this statement where we call on the international scientific community to amplify the voices of those in Iran, and to recognize the extraordinary challenges faced by Iranian scholars.

Je suis atterrée par les scènes qui nous parviennent d'Iran depuis quelques jours.
À toutes les femmes iraniennes qui se battent pour leur liberté, Montréal est avec vous.
Femme, vie, liberté.
