Schoolgirls in Iran in protest against the regime sticking their middle fingers to Khomeini and Khamenei

Yesterday in Tehran, Dina Ghalibaf, a courageous 30-year-old journalist, bravely spoke out against sexual harassment by the morality police. Today, they raided her home and arrested her. She was stopped in Tehran’s subway for not wearing a hijab and was violently dragged into a room at Saadeghieh metro station, where she endured sexual assault and was handcuffed. Despite the ordeal, she bravely exposed them on social media. Now, her arrest raises concerns for her safety. Iranians urge an immediate halt to the Islamic Republic’s war against women, fearing more tragedies like #MahsaAmini’s murder in police custody. The international community must take a firm stand against gender apartheid regime in Iran. #UnitedAgainstGenderApartheid

this nightmare won’t ever end.

On sunday, oct 1st, a 16 year old girl named Armita Geravand was using the Tehran subway to go to school with her two other friends when she was attacked by the islamic regime forces for not wearing hijab. There’s a cctv footage showing her friends taking her unconscious body out of the train. She’s hospitalized at a military hospital due to head trauma and is in a coma. It’s said she’s been pushed by the security forces and her head had hit a metal bar. The regime detained a reporter who was going to the hospital to cover the news and it cut off any access to the hospitalized girl. The regime says the girl’s blood pressure dropped and that’s why she lost consciousness. But the said regime also killed nearly 600 people to say it didn’t have anything to do with Mahsa Amini’s murder.

It’s been some two months since the islamic regime stationed ‘Hijab guards’ and police forces at the entrance to some subway stations in Tehran. They’re there everyday. Usually when it’s really crowded they don’t say anything, probably sacred of the crowd’s reactions. But sometimes when there are a few people around, they warn women who are using the subway to wear hijab. And you never know when they’re going to get violent and hurt you.

I just hope Armita makes it. It’s just been 11 days since schools opened. So many girls and boys were supposed to return to school this year but the regime killed them. It keeps killing us and this nightmare will never end.

Interview with Nele, Nika Shakarami’s girlfriend by Zeit Magazine

‘‘Nika loved the moon, and it became an important symbol in their relationship, says Nele. When they missed each other, they would say: “We don’t live in the same country, but beneath the same sky.” Sometimes, Nika would tell Nele over the phone that she was looking at the moon, saying: You should go outside too, Nele, so we can look at it together. They even called each other “my moonie.” Or Niki and Neli. Or Haku and Chihiro, like the main characters in the anime film “Spirited Away,” which both of them loved. The story involves a courageous boy helping a shy girl escape a world full of monsters. “That was us,” Nele says today‘‘

Nika Shakarami was a 16 year old brave Iranian girl who was kidnapped by the police during the ongoing protests in Iran, brutally tortured, raped and murdered in cold blood. Her burial was on her birthday. Say her name, Nika Shakarami
