Iranian prisoner of conscience killed in coma from unknown medication irannewswire.org/iranian-prison…
Following his arrest by 20 plainclothes security agents, Behnam was beaten, held in solitary confinement with lights on for 24 hours a day, and interrogated without a lawyer present.
On 9 August 2019, following an unfair trial before Branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court in Tehran, which used his forced “confessions” as admissible evidence, he was convicted of “gathering and colluding to commit crimes against national security”
Later, he sentenced to two years in prison and a two-year ban on involvement in social and political groups. He was released on bail on 29 May 2018 and was summoned to begin serving his prison sentence on 20 June 2020.
According to Amnesty International, Behnam was subjected to torture and other ill-treatment, including through the denial of specialist medical care. He was serving his two-year prison sentence for attending a peaceful protest.
@AmnestyIran condemned the brutal treatment of the prisoner of conscience #BehnamMahjoubi and demanded for investigation and punishment of all officials, doctors and prison guards, and all those responsible for such a cruel act! #SOSBehnam

US and Gulf share concerns on climate change arabnews.pk/node/1809291#.… very informative! With so much talent in Iran, I wish we could do the same rather than investing in dangerous weapons and terrorist militias! Instead, Iranian regime is ruining the environment by burning mazut!
Burning forest, and mismanagement in water usage has further more destroyed Iran’s environment!
The deprived citizens living in the southern, central, and eastern provinces of Iran are mostly affected by the water crisis like the ones in the deprived Sistan and Baluchistan province, southeastern Iran, particularly scarcity of running water. ncr-iran.org/en/news/societ…

🎺چندروزى شيپور اين نوين پيام زده شد، ولى همونجور كه انتظار داشتم آبى ازش گرم نشد!البته به عنوان يك ايرانى كه دوست دارم وطنم را آزاد ببينم، آرزوى قلبيم اين بود كه يكپارچگى سر محور هاى اساسى ببينم! البته فردى كه دعوت به اين اتحاد ميكند بايد حتما خودش هم بهايى در اين راه داده باشد!
🟡ما در تاريخ انقلاب از ميوه چين دوران، هَمَه با همها تبديل به هَمَه با من ها شد، را تجربه كرديم: شرط اول اينست كه بايد هزينه مبارزه را پرداخت! اينكه يك روزه از خيلى از مسائل عبور كنى و از آكروبات بازى، فوتبال، كباب گوسفندى ياد "گذر از رژيم" بكنى، آيا ميوه چينى ديگرى هستيد؟
💠آيا حاضريد يك روز هزينه كنيد و هواداران ميليونى خود را جمع كنيد و يك كنفرانس چند صد نفره از جيب خودتون هزينه كنيد؟
💠آيا هنوز با كمك سپاه و سران جنايتكار سپاه كه در تماس بوديد و نميخواستيد در ليست تروريستى بروند ميخواهيد از جمهورى اسلامى "گذر كنيد"؟
💠معنى "گذار" از رژيم چيست؟

در بحثهاى اطرافيان گاهى نكاتى را ميشنوم كه بسيار رايج شده! نفرت كور از ندانسته ها!! افرادى كه نميدانند و به زور نادانسته هاى خود را ميخواهند بقبولانند!!
نميدانند كه مبارزه علم است!!! همان گونه كه به دانشگاه ميروى تا اقتصاد دان شوى و يا شركت راه بياندازى!
اصرار دارند كه "اين مجاهدين كى هستند كه براى مردم رهبر و رئيس جمهور تعين ميكنند!!! ... خانم، آقا ... ملّى گرا باشيد حزبگرا نباشيد براى مردم تلاش كنيد نه براى حزب و سازمانتان!!" اما نكته اصلى در اين حرفها گم ميشه و تفرقه بوجود ميآيد همان چيزى كه رژيم ميخواهد!
در اين ميان علم مبارزه گم ميشود، ابزار رسيدن به آزادى جامعه كجا ميرود؟ آيا بدون يك نظم و كارايى ميشود به هدف خود در هر زمينه رسيد؟
