The nationwide strike by the teachers takes place as truck drives wage their own strike & the bazaar is protesting. The main problem is the Supreme Leader & the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp (#IRGC) as they steal the wealth of the entire nation. Thus people call for #FreeIran
The teachers' strike is taking place, in addition to Capital Tehran, in Isfahan, Shiraz, Karaj, Ahvaz, Kermanshah, Bushehr, Hamedan, Sanandaj, Ilam, Ardebil, Baneh, Saqez, Babol, Sari, Yazd & Marivan to name a few. #Iranian_teachers_on_strike is the expansion of #IranUprising.
In many cities in #Iran, such as Isfahan and Shiraz, the students have joined the teachers in support of their demands. In some cities, like Sanandaj, the parents of the students have joined the teachers' strike. #Iranian_teachers_on_strike

 Let’s take a quick look at the atrocious human rights record of #Iran’s regime.

-At least 285 executions in 2018
-110 flogging sentences
-At least one hand amputation
2)
 #Iran’s regime ranks first in the world in executions per capita.

“At least 517 people were executed in 2017, an average of more than one execution per day.”

 In 2015 “Tehran hanged at least 694 people between Jan 1 & Sep 15, the highest rate of executions in the Islamic Republic in some 25 years... Executions have been rising at an exponential rate since 2005 & peaked in 2014, at a shocking 753 executions,”

 "Iranian authorities are continuing to commit crimes against humanity,"

UN should establish "an independent investigation into the mass enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings which have gone unpunished for three decades."

 "This report unravels the web of denials & distortions that the Iranian authorities have perpetuated over 30 years, both at home & internationally, to hide the truth that they forcibly disappeared & systematically killed thousands of political dissidents within weeks."

 Marking October 10th, the World Day Against The Death Penalty, it is worth noting that #Iran has the world’s highest number of executions per capita.

 #Iran is also home to the execution of minors.

“Iran should immediately and unconditionally end the use of the death penalty for crimes committed by children under age 18, and move toward a complete ban on capital punishment.”

 “More than half of recorded executions -- 507 -- were carried out in Iran…”

#BREAKING
According to his brother, political prisoner #RaminHosseinPanahi has been executed.

My deepest condolences to his family and Iranians across the globe.
To get an understanding of #Iran's ruthless regime:

The IRGC launched a missile barrage against a Kurdish group based in Iraq in an attempt to divert attention away from the execution of political prisoner #RaminHosseinPanahi.

Raise your voice & condemn the mullahs regime.
#BREAKING
Reports indicate #Iran's regime has also executed Kurdish political prisoners Zaniar & Loghman Moradi alongside #RaminHosseinPanahi.

For the last 24 hours I've been texting & calling with refugees in Libya. 500 are apparently stuck in a Tripoli prison w/o food & water after heavy fighting broke out two days ago. They say their guards ran away, leaving them alone.
These refugees are men, women & children. They tried to cross the Mediterranean earlier this year, but were found by Italian boats, who turned them over to the EU-backed Libyan coastguard, who put them in prison. The conditions were already terrible before the fighting started.
Oh the phone earlier I could hear children crying & what sounded like bombing in the distance. The refugees say everyone's incredibly frightened. "We hear machine guns, tanks, big bombs, last night from the roof it was all fire."

Revealed: Google is planning to launch a censored search engine in China that will blacklist websites & search terms about human rights, democracy, political opposition, academic studies, religion, & peaceful protest: theintercept.com/2018/08/01/goo…
The confidential project - code-named "Dragonfly" - has been underway for more than a year. It's a dramatic shift in Google's policy on China nearly a decade after the internet giant pulled its search engine out of the country, citing concerns about "forces of totalitarianism."
A source familiar w/ the plans is raising concerns about the censored search platform, saying Google is "collaborating in the oppression of [China's] people." Amnesty International has condenmed the project, calling it "a big disaster for the information age."
