Female university students in Isfahan cry “freedom, freedom, freedom!” (Azadi). What’s happening in Iran is the inexorable march of history. It can be delayed with repression, but not reversed.

From 2019…

Iranian women didn’t just become brave this past month. They’ve been leading this fight for over a century.

There have been many moments like this over the years but Iranian women didn’t have the attention of the world like they do now.

A woman sent this video from Karaj, Iran. In Islamic Republic, Girls & boys are segregated from age of 7. it’s forbidden for men & women to hug each other, to shake hands and attend a mix parties. This couple are breaking law just by hugging.

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

For 40 years Islamic Republic forced people to burn the flags of America and Israel. Now Iranians are burning Islamic Republic’s flag.

The flag of the regime that kills students and prisoners and knows no bounds in crime against humanity.

Iranians are facing new tragedy every day.

In the city of Ardabil the security forces killed a schoolgirls for the crime of chanting “Woman Life Freedom” and these people took to the streets to protest this tragic death. This is how the protesters have been treated.

Schoolgirl #AsraPanahi died on Wednesday after being beaten by security forces in Iran.
A High School in Ardabil, city, forced students to join a pro regime rally. Students refused and instead they chanted: “Women Life Freedom”.
That’s why they got beaten up.

ویدیوی منتشرشده در شبکه‌های اجتماعی خشونت فیزیکی و کلامی یک مامور به شهروندی را نشان می‌دهد که چند بار خطاب به او می‌گوید: «من تسلیمت هستم». محل و زمان ویدیو مشخص نیست.

تصویری که منتظر دیدنش بودیم؛ الناز رکابی، نماینده ایران، بدون #حجاب_اجباری در فینال سنگ‌نوردی آسیا شرکت کرد.

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

A young woman inside Iran asked me to share this video with the world. “We are 83 millions hostages in this country. They are beating and killing us but we resist and we have a massage for the free world.”
At the end if the video she is chanting: Women Life Freedom.

Elnaz Rekabi--the Iranian climber who refused to wear compulsory hejab while competing--is greeted as a hero at 5AM at Tehran airport after her plane lands from Seoul. Imprisoning her will only increase the Iranian nation's enormous admiration for her.

[Yashar Ali 🐘 @yashar]

It feels like a dream to watch this video.

Am I watching a movie?

Young school girls, no older than 10-12, with their headscarves in hand, march confidently down the Iran street while chanting, "women, life, freedom!"

Mother of Sattar Beheshti, who was tortured to death in Iran in 2012, removes her hijab after 80 yrs "for our young people."

She has never given up her quest for justice, and now is standing for all of Iran’s sons & daughters. #Mahsa_Amini.

@Pontifex Will you be praying for the mothers, daughters & children of Iran? Will you be praying for their fathers & brothers who stand up to defend them? Will you endorse #Mahsa_Amini‌ #IranRevolution or will your silence stand in support of a corrupt / violent theocracy? @ShervinBashar

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

After 80 years of wearing hijab, #GoharEshghi took her hijab off "because of a religion that is killing people".
She called people not coming to the streets to protest cowards.
Gohar is mother of #SattarBeheshi an Iranian blogger who was killed by the Islamic Republic in 2012.

Filmmaker Mani Haghighi was due to join us at the BFI London Film Festival with his film Subtraction. Authorities in Iran confiscated his passport and he could not leave.

#LFF supports Haghighi and all filmmakers in their freedom to present their films around the world.
