THREAD

1)
As #Iran’s people continue the #IranRevolution campaign & the regime responding by executing two protesters, Mohsen Shekari & Majidreza Rahnavard, there are now voices arguing the people should show “restraint” & “avoid violence”.

This is treason.
Let me explain. ImageImageImage
2)
Certain #Iran “experts” & “activists”, living abroad & far from the danger that brave Iranian protesters are facing, are now claiming that calls for further anti-regime measures would give the mullahs the excuse to increase their deadly crackdown.

As if Tehran needed any. Image
3)
The mullahs’ regime ruling #Iran has already killed more than 700 protesters and arrested at least 30,000. Their security forces are using heavy machine guns and gunning down demonstrators in the streets.
4)
Calls for “silent marches” & other similar “low-tensity protests” come at a time when the Iranian people are chanting:
“Death to Khamenei!”
“Death to the Basij & IRGC!”
“Basij & ISIS, you are our ISIS!”
“I will kill those who killed my brother/sister!”
5)
Family members of killed protesters are calling on #Iran’s people to increase their rallies.

Father of Fereydoun Ahmad, killed by security forces in protests: “Parents should be with their children; we should end this fundamentalist regime forever!”
6)
Nov 18—Semirom, central #Iran
Locals attending the funeral of Ali Abbasi, killed by the regime's security forces on Nov 16, began chanting: "We swear on Ali's blood; [regime dictator Ali Khamenei] will be overthrown!"
7)
Nov 18—Izeh, SW #Iran
Locals in the funeral of 10-year-old Kian Peerfalak began chanting: "Death to Khamenei!" referring to regime dictator Ali Khamenei.
#IranRevolution2022
8)
A reminder for those calling on the people of #Iran to practice restraint and distance themselves from violence.

Nelson Mandela
“The methods of political action which are used by the oppressed are determined by the oppressor."
9)
In such circumstances, what should we Iranians living abroad be focused on?

(And, of course, we welcome the support of our brothers and sisters from across the globe in these initiatives.) Image

Time to squeeze and isolate #Iran’s regime

The prospect of change in #Iran has never been this accessible before. It is time to recognize the right of the people to take matters into their hands and overthrow the regime.
