have been in touch with 100s of women from Afghanistan for our campaign against compulsory hijab. Now they are sending videos to me speaking out against Taliban. I get goosebumps when I hear their voice. Most of them live inside the country. they want to be heard by the world
2)
She is a young model from Afghanistan. She spent years building her career, whereas now she’s scared not only for her career, but her safety in Afghanistan. She pleads with the world not to trust the Taliban.

I blurred her face for her own safety

“I cannot help crying, but I know that one day my cries will turn into anger and we will be able to take Afghanistan back from the Taliban.
Why is the word silent in the face of our pain? Join us and support us.”

I blurred her face for her own safety.
4-“I live in Afghanistan, full of fear for my future. Taliban says if we respect the Islamic dress code, they’ll allow us to work & study, but we don’t trust them. Today, if you don’t support your Afghan sisters, the world won’t forget about your indifference.
5)
“I live in Afghanistan & I’m witnessing how these days, the atmosphere in Kabul is full of fear and hopelessness. But our women of today are not the same as women of 20 years ago. We won’t surrender. The world must support us”.
They are risking their lives in order to be heard
6)”20 years ago, when Taliban was in power, they raped women and killed innocent children. We don't want to go back to those years"
Heart-wrenching words of a young Afghan girl who asks the international community for help.
Don't leave Afghan women alone

1) These are pictures of Iranian youth who have lost their sight due to the violence of the IRGC forces. Their only crime was peacefully protesting in the streets. The IRGC shot these protestors in the face, simply for supporting the revolution of #WomanLifeFreedom.

Dozens could face execution in Iran due to the protest over the murder of #MahsaAmini. 15 are on trial in the city of Karaj, including three 17-year-old boys and these married couple, Farzaneh & her husband Hamid Ghare-Hasanlou, who is a medical doctor. They are innocent.

#SahandNoorMohamadZadeh, a 26 year-old athlete, had been arrested on Oct 4 in Iran protests & was sentenced to death on Dec 3. His crime, based on regime's claims, is setting garbage bins on fire and blocking the roads. He is innocent.

#MohammadGhobadloo, 22 years old, was sentenced to death in Iran for protesting.
He didn't have access to a lawyer during his trial and was charged by "corruption on earth".
His life is in real danger and his family have no media inside Iran. Be his voice

1-Why do foreign media fall for the disinformation by the Iranian regime? In 2017, the regime claimed the morality police would end arrests for hijab. Yet, in 2022, it arrested & killed #MahsaAmini for hijab. Today, international media reported morality police would be abolished
2-The source of today's news turned out to be poorly researched. Why wasn’t there proper fact-checking? Why did the international community so readily consume this poor journalism?

This was pure propaganda by the regime to calm the ongoing anti-regime uprisings
3-Many news media including @NYTimes regarded today's disinformation about the abolition of the morality police as a "victory". Yet, Iranians aren’t just asking for an end to morality police. They want to end this regime.

1/After my meeting with president @EmmanuelMacron, Nasser Kanaani, the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of IR said the countries who tie the nuclear deal to what's happening inside Iran, are betting on the losing horse!
#IranRevolution
2/He said Masih (Persian pronunciation of Messiah) does not heal the blinds but blinds the people instead.
I say it's you, who hit people with bullets & buttons, who can’t see the truth. Iranian people know who has hurt them & how to heal the wounds you caused on their homeland.
3/Destroying & draining is your job, while reconstructing & reviving is our mission.
No wonder you are worried, you know very well that not much time left for you to stand on that podium & speak on behalf of Iranians.
Soon their true representatives will talk to the world.

1/This is how the Islamic Republic treats its citizens
& they claim they didn’t kill #MahsaAmini!
This child murdering regime has only survived all these years by killing people.
The world must stop appeasing them now they know the truth.
#IranRevolution
2/Saqez, hometown of #MahsaAmini;

Saqez has become the heart of #IranRevolution and it is beating strong.
