If Quebec needs Montreal to survive, Greater Montreal accounts for roughly half of the province’s economy and population and Montrealers are overwhelmingly against separating from Canada… the answer is right in front of your face.
The Islamic Republic has executed Alireza Raeesi and Alireza Sepahi, two protesters arrested during Iran’s Lion and Sun national uprising.
Facing execution, Alireza Sepahi married fellow prisoner Mahshad Kashani, who was sentenced to five years in prison. A heart attack delayed his execution in July, but the regime remained determined to kill him.
"These state killings will not go unanswered. We will pursue accountability through fair trials for everyone responsible, from the officials who ordered them and the judges who issued the sentences to those who carried them out."
Established by Prince Reza Pahlavi and chaired by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shirin Ebadi, Iran’s committee drafting transitional justice regulations is preparing the legal framework for prosecuting the regime’s crimes. Its warning is clear:
“Every execution adds to your criminal responsibility. Do not expect these crimes to be forgotten, or count on impunity or forgiveness.”

Iran executed two protesters detained during the January 2026 protests, Alireza Sepahi and Alireza Raisi, on Monday morning, the judiciary’s media center said.
The Islamic Republic had previously executed Abolfazl Sepahi and Amirhossein Safari, two other protesters, in the case known as the “Alikhani Square” case in Isfahan.
Mahshad Kashani, Alireza Sepahi’s wife, was sentenced to five years in prison in the same case. Lawyer Amirsalar Davoudi had officiated the couple’s marriage ceremony.
Iran’s Supreme Court upheld death sentences for 12 defendants in the Alikhani Square case in July.

I’ve dealt with this my entire life; I hate it when I proudly tell someone I’m Iranian and their tone completely changes and they pity me.
I wish my country wasn’t occupied by corrupted terrorists more than anything and I’m deeply upset about the state of things and the suffering of millions of civilians but please let me be proud of being Iranian and hopeful for a better future for my people.
I don’t think most of us can profoundly comprehend just how barbaric executions are, especially of young, healthy and innocent civilians who are receiving this fate as a result of disapproving the dictator terrorist government occupying their country.
These are normal people, just like you and me.
This is someone’s neighbor, friend, brother, son.
Could you imagine losing someone this way? How would you cope? How would you move on from such a loss?

Just hours after a scaffold went up in Isfahan, the regime executed two more protesters.
4 defendants in the "Alikhani Square Case" have been executed; the lives of 8 more remain at risk.
The regime's massacre of the Iranian people will not stop for as long as it still exists.
Celebrate your team’s win all you want. But LIVING in Canada while obsessively mocking fans of team Canada after the World Cup Fifa match is genuinely embarrassing.
It’s SO easy for someone like me, who was born and raised in Canada, to be anti-war and anti-foreign intervention. That’s what we were taught in school: that both of these things are, without exception, BAD.
We all have biases we cannot deny. I had to go out of my way to understand how Iranians in Iran, or those who lived there for many years, see things. Always remember that people who have lived through oppression and terrorism will see things differently than those who haven’t.
I wouldn’t be an ally to Iranians if I didn’t try to listen to them, align myself with them, and amplify their voices.
You may have noticed a divide amongst the Iranians who were born and raised or, for the majority of their lives, lived/grew up abroad, often having different opinions than the ones living IN Iran.
It’s unfortunate that many of the diaspora are using their freedom of speech and privilege to talk OVER their fellow Iranians who are oppressed, instead of hearing them out and trying to understand them.
