This clip of a debate in the US makes me angry. Especially as today the EU Parliament condemned flogging of Nargess Mohammadi. Narges is a known activist so you hear about her but millions of ordinary people are physically punished every year under Sharia laws.

Today Islamic Republic executed 2 men on the charge of “sodomy.”
Imposing the death penalty for consensual sexual relations is an egregious human rights violation & must be condemned by all, especially those who support #LGBTQ rights. #LetUsTalk
3)
In Iran not only female activists receive lashes for removing hijab, but also men and women get flogged for attending mix party or drinking alcohol. In the West I’m told, sharing our stories will cause Islamophobia.
Sadly this is still happening in 21st century

Although Iran’s judiciary has criminialised the act of sending me videos from inside Iran, I receive videos from Iranians every day showing how they are being Physically punished under Sharia laws for having a normal life like this man flogged for drinking alcohol.

1-In response to my @washingtonpost op-ed on how @IlhanMN's proposed legislation against Islamophobia could silence legitimate concerns about Islamist extremism, her husband defamed me using the same language used by Islamists as a pretext to repress their feminist critics
2- Like the Taliban & Islamic Regime in Iran -who refuse to call us by our name-@TimMynett dismissed me as “this lady.” Though I wrote “I have many relatives who are pious Muslims I love & respect, including my beloved mother”-he had the audacity to call me a self-hating Muslim
3- This is as unacceptable as offensive tropes like “self-hating Jew” or “House Negro”. For those of us who grew up under theocracy, these are not petty twitter squabbles. When the Iranian regime jailed me when I was 19 & pregnant, they also accused me of being against Islam

How many countries do you know that women are in jail or get lashes because of being #FreeFromHijab?
At least 5 anti compulsory hijab activists are in jail. Saba Kordafshari was only 20 years old, she received 27 years prison sentence and Yasaman received 16 years. #LetUsTalk

This is our version of women’s march for #NoHijabDay. We call on feminists to help us to be heard .This is 21st-century and we want to be our true self without being oppressed. We want to be free to criticize any religions including Islam without being censored. #LetUsTalk

چند رسانه در ایران صدای این زنانی شدند که سالها مورد آزار و خشونت باحجاب‌هایی قرار گرفتند که به پشتوانه قانون زور گفتند؟
این ۲زن فریاد میزنند که شما «جنده» هستید پول میگیرید تا حجاب بردارید و جامعه را خراب کنید! آشناست!
#دوربین_ما_اسلحه_ما دعوت میکند که تجربه‌تان را بنویسید

جمهوری اسلامی برای اینکه کمپین ما را خفه کند زنان #چهارشنبه_های_سفید را بازداشت کرد، علیه من برنامه و خبر جعلی ساخت و فاسد و فاحشه خواند، از خانواده‌ام، علیه من اعلام برائت گرفت، برادرم را حبس کرد و هر روز تهدید به تجاوز و قتل و اسیدپاشی می‌شوم.

این یکی از شجاعانه ترین زنان #دوربین_ما_اسلحه_ما
رییس دادگاه انقلاب برای خفه کردن صدای زنان معترض به حجاب قانون گذاشت که ارسال ویدیو به مسیح علینژاد ۱۰سال زندانی دارد. برخی همکارانم مرا سرزنش کردند اما بشنوید این زن را

Shocking footage obtained by hackers who hacked into the notorious Evil Prison in Iran’s surveillance system. It shows how prisoners are violently beaten and tortured by prison officials.
Islamic Republics officials never allow UN Special Rapporteur to visit Iranian prison.

This is the moment that the officials in Evan prison realized that they have been hacked. Hackers have accessed security camera footage from inside Evin where political prisoners are being held, and posted videos of guards beating inmates.
3-Here's another video that has leaked. You can see officials of the Evin Prison savagely beating a male prisoner. I have interviewed many families whose children were beaten to death in prison. They refuse to accept officials' apologies. They blame the entire regime for savagery

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.

1-Today, in a 15 minute call, @SecBlinken said he was relieved the Islamic Republic's plot to kidnap me was foiled by the FBI. He found the idea that they’d abduct me from the American soil particularly egregious.
2-I told him human rights was a bipartisan issue and Iranian people are fighting for the same rights that we in America take for granted.
3-@SecBlinken said the Biden Administration takes Islamic Republic's threats very very seriously and was aware of how the Tehran regime targets dissidents in the U.S and in Europe. He reassured me that the U.S. would hold the regime accountable for this plot
