Instead of celebrating #NikaShakarami's 17th birthday, her mother mourned her death. She later dared to deny the regime's claim that Nika had died falling from a tall building. Here's our @cbssaturday report on some of the female victims of the #IranProtests...
... the authorities' use of force, and how some people are responding, as the #IranProtests2022 enter their 4th week.

"A lot of reports of use of tear gas, use of batons ... security forces’ use of shotguns, assault weapons..."

@DrKayvanMirhadi told me he's receiving around 500 Instagram messages daily from wounded protesters in #Iran, begging him for medical advice - because the authorities have been arresting protesters seeking treatment at hospitals.

He says he receives photos like this ... "So, a person who is bleeding out of their leg from like, a gunshot wound, is just waiting for my response on the phone. ... It's just a horrible situation." Image
@DrKayvanMirhadi tries to connect them with trusted doctors on the ground in Iran, but failing that, he attempts to guide them through home remedies. His message for #Iranian authorities: "At least let the doctors treat them. Don't take the ambulances to detention centers." Image

This poem is from a public account believed to have belonged to #sarinaesmailzadeh, a 16-year-old Iranian girl who @amnesty says was beaten to death in the #IranProtests...
... It appears to have been written by her and posted 3 days before she died. Someone I know agreed to translate it to English on condition of anonymity so I could post it here:
Another morning dawned.
I am not in the mood for anything yet.

How long will they continue?
Will they never end?
