My observations last two days, my analysis of the apparatus of suppression in the streets which I group in 6 categories which I hope is useful. 1) Fully equipped especially with batons & BB guns infantry units are stationed at the most anticipated places for gathering. #Iran
The motorized unit which has modified their exhaust manifold to create more fear with sound are the quickest among them appearing and disappearing quickly, main task is to open closed roads and sometimes they unmount to beat people up.
Thread. 1. Wednesday morning from Nooshin Jafari's private instagram's account a voice message was sent. Nooshin is crying. She is forced to ask me about password for 'Yar-e Dabestani' "fake" account which I was unaware of until 2 weeks ago. #Iran
2. Since I am not in #Iran I was told in the same message that my family would be under pressure. 10 min. later they called and said, "What happened?" and erased the first message. I also left message that accusations are false and I have no connections to the account.

And now we hear from Babak Ebrahimi (middle), brother of Maziar Ebrahimi who recently testified about imprisonment and torture at the hand of intelligent services in #Iran, framed for assassination of nuclear scientists 7 years ago.
His brother was in Syria when he was arrested.
Babak was working as a make-up artist in Syria where he got married. He was arrested shortly after Maziar's arrest & transferred to prison under control of Lebanese Hezbollah. His wife who was three months pregnant is also arrested. His interrogator was Iranian. #Iran
