1)
The world stood by the people of South Africa in their struggle by sanctioning and isolating the apartheid regime. Now the international community should take up the same methods in supporting the people of #Iran.

2)
The regime in #Iran is killing people in the streets.
This is no time for the international community to be talking about diplomacy with the murderous mullahs.

3)
"Are nuclear negotiations with #Iran still on going?"

Blinken: Yes

This is while Iran's regime is killing innocent people in the streets and executing them in its prisons for seeking freedom and democracy.

June 25, 1990
Nelson Mandela asked then President Bush him to maintain sanctions on South Africa's apartheid regime, adding “it is because of sanctions that such enormous progress has been made in the attempt to address the problems of our country.”
5)
On a final note, some food for thought to those calling on the people of #Iran to practice restraint and distance themselves from violence.

“The methods of political action which are used by the oppressed are determined by the oppressor."
