1-To those who labelled recent protesters of Iran's #Sistan_Balochistan province "mobs and smugglers". Let me tell you some stories about the pains that these people have suffered.

Does this child look like a mobster?
2-He was killed 2 years ago by the regime when they stormed into his house looking for his uncle. Without following any protocol, they randomly fired shots at the entire family killing this child, Mostafa, & his dad in the process. They knew very well there’d be no accountability
3-How about this child? Her name was Hosna Bamri. When security forces were on the lookout for a suspect, they shot indiscriminately and killed 4 people including little Hosna. No-one has been brought to justice.
4-In a 3rd case of human rights violation, security forces storm into the house of Mehdi & Mohammad Pourian in the city Iranshahr. They convince them that if they attempt to espace, they’ll save their lives. When they obliged, security forces shot them death in front of their mum
5-In addition, these fathers are not smugglers. They were shit while trying to earn money to feed their kids. These days, when you see people of this province, especially in #Saravan, furiously protesting, it's because many families faced such injustices. Many lost their dads
6-As Wikileaks and the mainstream media in the West revealed, major smugglers in Iran are actually the members of the Revolutionary Guards. These real smugglers are never tried in court, while ordinary people trying to feed their families are shot without any trial
7-This guy standing beside #Soleimani is another member of the Revolutionary Guards from the Gods Force. His name is Gholamreza Baghbani. He is revealed in Wikeleaks as being responsible for smuggling heroine across the border.
8-#Sistan_Baluchestan is Iran’s poorest province and it suffers from a glaring lack of investment and services by the state. Some inhabitants of this province resort to cross-border trade to feed their families. Lately, the regime killed 37 of them.

1-Look at these human faces. They're #Baluchi
people that the Islamic Republic of Iran has killed from city of #Saravan, in #SistanBaluchestan, Iran's poorest province

They're part and parcel of what you call ordinary Iranians. They were shot while trying to feed their families Image
2-Today, people of #Saravan protesting against the regime. The regime has killed dozens of cross-border workers. Many people in this province lack basic necessities and job opportunities. When they try to eke out a living as cross-border workers, they're shot dead by the regime.
3-@JZarif and his supporters both in Iran and abroad love to claim such protesters are "not" ordinary Iranians. They deliberately ignore them. To them, the term ordinary Iranians means those who drive luxury cars and vote for this regime while receiving palpable benefits.

1-I urgently call on @ukhomeoffice, @Pritipatel to investigate @MohajeraniSayed, a former official of the Islamic Republic who not only supports the fatwa against Salman Rushdie, but has also hailed an assassin as “a hero” attempting to kill an Iranian dissident in France
2-When in 1989, Khomeini issued a fatwa to have @SalmanRushdie murdered, @MohajeraniSayed issued his own call in support
3-Recently, the notorious assassin Anis al-Naqqash, who attempted to kill Shahpour Bakhtiyar, the last prime minister under Shah, in France, died. Naqqash was released in an exchange for French hostages and had proudly admitted his role in the murder on Iranian state TV.

خطاب به سمیرا زرگری:
چقدر این خواسته‌ی شما از حکومت شرم‌آور است.
مگر چه فرقی بین شما و زنان عادی سرزمین‌مان وجود دارد که شما نیز همانند ابتکار و مولاوردی خود را تافته‌ی جدا بافته می‌دانید و مثل آنها فقط خواستار تغییر قانون ممنوع‌الخروحی مربوط به هم‌صنف‌های خودت میشوی؟
۲-
خانم سمیرا زرگری! وقتی شما ممنوع الخروج شدی، زنان معمولی برایت جنگیدند، حالا چگونه میتوانی فقط برای حق خودت بجنگی و به قانون‌گذار واپسگرای کشور بگویی حداقل قانون مربوط به ممنوع‌الخروجی ورزشکاران را اصلاح کن؟
استثنا قائل شدن برای شما یعنی تحمیل تبعیضی دیگر بر زنان عادی ایران!
۳-خانم زرگری! گوش کردن مسؤلان به خواسته تو یعنی‌ تو به عنوان ویترین جمهوری اسلامی سفر خواهی کرد و هر چقدر زنان ایرانی بگویند ما اجازه سفر بی‌اذن شوهر نداریم، تصویر تو را بر سکوهای جهان بر فرق سر خواهرانت می‌کوبند و آزادی صدقه‌ای تو باعث نادیده انگاشتن اسارت میلیون‌ها زن خواهد شد

1-I call on Italian media to become the voice of
#SamiraZargari, the ski coach of the national team of Iran. She was prevented from going to Italy because her husband didn’t give her permission. Image
2-The Islamic Republic of Iran’s anti-women laws give husbands the right to prevent their wives from being able to leave the county. We need the help of the international community to fight against the gender apartheid in Iran
3-It is the duty of the international community and the Italian media to be the voice of Samira and many other women who are the victims of such anti-women laws. Solidarity transcended boundaries.

1-42 years ago today, this cleric called Khomeini landed in Iran and the revolution he championed brought a spiral of death and destruction. It quickly turned into a revolution against women
.
2-Some intellectuals in the West romanticize the Islamic Revolution and allege that it empowered conservative and rural women by enabling them to go to universities thanks to their hijab. This is a very simplistic way of thinking that removes the agency of women.
3-As you can see, my family used to wear loose-fitting hijab before the revolution. After the revolution, they turned into this. In my village, veiled & unveiled women used to walk hand-in-hand. But the Islamic Republic provoked veiled women against unveiled women.

How come Twitter blocks my posts exposing Islamic Republic savagery but just yesterday when I got death threats by more than 100 accounts, Twitter did nothing.
After #RuhollahZam was murdered by IRI these accounts issued death threats against me.
