A banner over Hemmat Highway in Tehran used to say:

“The earth bears gold…” Until a protester added to it:

“... And clerics steal the gold.” #Mahsa_Amini

The previous Green revolutions in Iran focused around elections. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but ...

For a real durable social movement, yes, see U.S. civil rights, you have to focus on changing society and social institutions, laws, and mores, not just political candidates. And this one looks like it's going that way.

Yes and also show the world just how brutal and murderous these conservative males are, by risking one’s own life.

And then hope the world even cares.

For the most part, we are on our own.

Shooting to kill, an unretouched image of Iran regime
- Iran HRM
A documentary on the Iranian regime’s use of shotguns against Iranian protesters

The state security forces and plainclothes agents in Iran have been using brute force and obvious violence against protesters on the streets of Iran since September 17, 2022.

The Revolutionary Guards’ (IRGC) commander has claimed that they only use non-lethal weapons to contain the protests. But evidence shows extra levels of violence against the people and protesters. The goal is not to control the people but totally aimed at killing them. On several occasions, non-lethal weapons such as batons have been used so radically that it has killed protesters.

The present report is a brief overview of how the Iranian security forces and plainclothes officers confronted protesters and how some of these civilians were murdered.

The travesty here, not mentioned in the tweet, is that Iran is on the UN Commission on the Status of Women. :?

Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, Afghanistan, Cuba, Russian Federation, Egypt...these fascist and totalitarian countries have no business in the UN at all. :?

For sure, those countries don't belong on the UN Human Rights Council.

Third day of a sit-in protest by students, and some professors, in the lobby of the Computer Science Department at Sharif University in Tehran.

They are protesting the detention, banning and suspension of their classmates for engaging in #IranProtests.

Law student Hoda Katebi: Iran protests are about ‘total liberation’ - news.berkeley.edu
In this episode of Berkeley Voices, Berkeley Law student Hoda Katebi discusses how, after she began wearing the hijab as a sixth-grader in Oklahoma, she learned that clothes are inherently political. “It played a huge role in shaping my own personal growth, as well as my relationship to politics,” Katebi says.

Since protests broke out in Iran nearly three months ago, sparked by the murder of 22-year-old Mahsa Jina Amini by Iran’s so-called morality police, Katebi has been an outspoken supporter of the protesters.

“The main demand that we’re hearing is, ‘Jin, Jiyan, Azadî,’ or, ‘Woman, Life, Freedom,’ which is a Kurdish, anti-imperialist, feminist, anti-capitalist chant,” she says. “I think that that’s what is really hitting at the core and distinguishes these protests from others before — this is one that’s calling for nothing short of the end of dictatorship, which means everything from women’s rights to education to class, gender, everything.”

Although a senior official in the Iranian government confirmed on Monday, Dec. 5, that the morality police had been shut down — the first concession by the government since the protests began — the mandatory dress code remains in place. It’s unclear how the government plans to enforce the laws moving forward.

#MohsenShekari, 23, was subjected to a political killing without any chance of defending himself, @hadighaemi told @CBCNews.

The international community should pursue serious consequences on the economic, political and diplomatic fronts: https://main.mp4.cbc.ca/prodVideo/news/ ... -dec-8.mp4.
