FLOTUS Jill Biden appeared at the #GRAMMYs to present the show’s first-ever Song For Social Change Special Merit Award to Iranian singer-songwriter Shervin Hajipour, whose song ‘Baraye’ has become an unofficial anthem of the Mahsa Amini protests
Voria Ghafouri was arrested after a training session with his club, Foolad Khuzestan, on charges of having “tarnished the reputation of the national team and spread propaganda against the state.”
Day 68 > #IranRevolution https://t.co/z3qsUEXNGP
The statue of "Brave Girl (Do not be afraid)" is usually next to the entrance of Grand Hotel in Oslo but the owner of the statue Christian Ringens temporarily moved it in front of the Islamic Republic embassy there in solidarity with the Iranian people & tied a scarf to her hand.
United States @USAmbUN
has formally requested a special session of United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) to request removal of the Islamic Republic from @UN_CSW - body dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and empowerment of women.
Day 65 #IranRevoIution
“Fear has dissipated” in Iran, “and regimes like the Islamic Republic… survive based on fear,” says @milaniabbas. “It is due to a relentless battle by Iranian women not to allow this regime to dictate their lives.”
“People no longer believe that this regime is reformable.”
Day 45 / #IranRevoIution
Sanandaj, Tehran, Bushehr.
Students in #Iran continue protesting. Islamic Republic knows the power of universities; that’s why they set up Basij there.
“Universities are a bigger threat to us than any cluster bomb.”- Khomeini
70% of pop. is under 30
Tehran Prosecutor #AliSalehi said that 315 protesters were indicted. 4 are charged with Moharebeh, waging war against God, a crime that carries the death penalty! This is what happen when protest after protest the international community has allowed #Iran to get away with murder!
Authorities at Tehran's Sharif University of Technology closed the cafeteria today after students defied the gender segregation rules and sat next to each other for lunch.
In reaction, male and female students continued defying the rules and ate together on the ground today.
To be clear, the protestors in Iran are not just demonstrating for their government to respect their dignity and human rights. They are saying “death to the dictator,” and “death to the Islamic Republic.” They don’t want reforms. They want an end to theocracy. Plain and simple.

A month after the protests in Iran began, @ksadjadpour sees the anger spreading across Iranian society: "If all of these brushfires combine together in one inferno the regime is going to be in trouble." Our conversation with the always insightful Karim Sadjadpour on @NewDay:
Any system that’s built on the blood of it’s own citizens should be on the brink of collapse. I proudly stand with those who have always advocated for democracy in Iran, which by definition means the overthrowing of the theocracy by the Iranian people, hence a change of regime.
Day 32 of #IranRevoIution#IranProtests2022
This is #Tehran University School of Art students.
Marching to the pre-revolution anthem “Ey Iran”
Boys & girls holding hands; already a no no in the Islamic Republic.
Little pockets of resistance everywhere.
#MahsaAmini#Iran
For six years I avoided talking publicly about Iran, for fear of personal repercussions or repercussions on loved ones or colleagues. I hope that by talking publicly now about that time I can help in some small way. (1/25) #MahsaAmini#OpIran#مهسا_امینی
