🚨Don’t stop talking about Iran.
Davoud Sohrabi was a young athlete. Strong. Healthy. Full of life.
On January 8, during the protests in Tehran, he was shot in the eye. Shot. In. The. Eye.
He didn’t die right away. He fought. He stayed in a coma for 50 days. Fifty days his family stood by his hospital bed, hoping he’d wake up. Praying. Waiting.
On March 4, he died from the severity of his injuries.
Let’s be clear: this wasn’t an accident. This wasn’t “crowd control.” Someone aimed at his head. Someone pulled the trigger.
If you’re outside Iran and still thinking this is just politics, understand what that means. A government shot a young athlete in the eye during a protest and left him to slowly die in a hospital bed for 50 days.
Fifty days of false hope.
Davoud had a name. He had dreams. He had a future.
Now he’s another young life taken by a regime that answers protest with bullets.
Girls took off their mandatory headscarves and chanted “AZADI,” which means freedom.

Today, February 24th, day 4 of widespread university protests.
The Ayatollah's reign of terror must stop. The Iranian people continue to show courage, even as 30,000+ have been massacred, but they need our help.
I've urged Trump to take action, including opening up Internet access to the Iranian people. We must stand with the people.

No more silenced voices.
Every execution is an irreversible crime against humanity.
The world must demand an immediate moratorium, hold perpetrators accountable, and stand with the families whose lives are torn apart.
Silence is complicity.

"If the 5-digit estimates are even approximately correct, this would constitute one of the largest single episodes of government violence against civilians in the 21st century—and one of the largest in the late 20th and early 21st centuries combined."

There was so much talk about the protests in Iran – but they drowned in blood. The world has not helped enough the Iranian people, it has stood aside.
What will Iran become after this bloodshed? If the regime survives, it sends a clear signal to every bully – kill enough people, and you stay in power.
Tens of thousands have been murdered in Iran.
Greta Thunberg? Silent.
Francesca Albanese? Silent.
Mehdi Hasan? Silent.
Cenk Uygur? Silent.
Ana Kasparian? Silent.
The media? Silent.
The UN? Silent.
Ms. Rachel? Silent.
After Iranians took to the streets in Mashhad, security forces opened fire on the crowd. An eyewitness shares his experience of the massacre. https://t.co/s6gMHoPJX8
DO NOT look away!
This is not GAZA. This is Iran.
Body bags of 100s of innocents in Iran against the Islamo-Nazi Ayatollah regime who slaughtered them for protesting for freedom.
This why the Ayatollahs have shut down the internet in Iran for 2 weeks. This killing must stop!
