A criminal court in Iraq sentenced a man to three years in prison for a Tweet that he posted, criticizing the security forces (PMF). This punishment is brutal and needs to be done away with. #cherribi @cherribi

It will be interesting to see the public in Iran’s response to officials executing the first protester (for killing an officer) in the protests for furthering human rights. Will this cause less protests or even more? #cherribi @cherribi

Iran's President, Ebrahim Raisi, claims protestors will be heard, however, he has failed to effectively address and attempt to resolve problems associated with the protests. There’s a difference between saying something and doing it. #cherribi @cherribi

Rather than heating out the voices from a roaring movement following the death of Mahsa Amini, police authorities in Iran are executing brutal force upon, and even killing, protestors. Very sad to see. #cherribi @cherribi
