- What a remarkable image. The daughter of Minoo Majidi--a mother of two who was killed by the Iranian regime while protesting for #MahsaAmini--stands at her mother's gravesite. She is defiantly unveiled, and in her left hand she holds the hair she cut from her head.
- USA’s Antonee Robinson consoles Iran’s Ramin Rezaian after America’s victory. Iran’s regime has tried hard to brainwash its people against the US, but most Americans who’ve been to Iran will tell you it’s among the friendliest places they’ve ever visited.
- Two boys—ages 10 and 3–jumped 30 feet from a burning building in Grenoble, France. Two of the six adults who caught them broke their arms. Amazing heroism all around.
- Courage is contagious: Iranian women’s basketball team collectively remove their compulsory hejab.
- Iranian state TV is hacked with images of those killed in the uprising, the slogan “Woman, life, freedom”, and a message for viewers to “Join us and rise up”. x.com/1500tasvir/sta…
- 23-year-old Iranian protestor Majidreza Rahnavard's dying wishes--before being hanged--reflect the living wishes of so many young Iranians living under theocratic tyranny. "Don't cry, don't read the Koran, don't pray" "Be joyful. Play happy music"
- Students at Hormozgan University in Bandar Abbas (historically a more socially conservative region of Iran) tear down the wall of gender segregation in the school cafeteria while chanting “freedom, freedom, freedom” (azadi)
- Today in Iran, schoolgirls chant "Woman, Life, Freedom" (Zan, Zendegi, Azadi) #زن_زندگی_آزادی x.com/1500tasvir/sta…
- 1. To understand Iran's protests it's striking to juxtapose images of the young, modern women killed in Iran over the last week (Mahsa Amini, Ghazale Chelavi, Hanane Kia, Mahsa Mogoi) with the images of the country's ruling elite, virtually all deeply traditional, geriatric men.
- An Iranian schoolgirl replaces the portrait of Ayatollahs Khomeini and Khamenei that hang in every classroom—the only two men who’ve ruled Iran for 43 years—with the words “Woman, Life, Freedom”.
- Women in Tehran marching without the compulsory hejab. One of the ideological pillars of the Islamic Republic is beginning to crumble. x.com/1500tasvir/sta…
- Iranian theatre and cinema actors silently protest without compulsory hejab. Their male colleagues stand alongside them in solidarity.
- Elnaz Rekabi--the Iranian climber who refused to wear compulsory hejab while competing--is greeted as a hero at 5AM at Tehran airport after her plane lands from Seoul. Imprisoning her will only increase the Iranian nation's enormous admiration for her.
