#URGENT APPEAL: Family member of Kurdish political prisoners Mohsen Mazloum, Pejman Fatehi, Vafa Azarbar and Hajir Faramarzi have been summoned for their last pre-execution prison visits. Their executions could be carried out within hours. Iran Human Rights calls on the…
“We will be hanged tomorrow”. That was the message these four political prisoners told their families in their last visit today. I call on the leaders of EU, the leaders of the free world to cease their diplomatic relations with Islamic Republic otherwise this brutal regime will…
Iranian Kurdish Reza Rasaei is at imminent risk of execution after the Supreme Court upheld his conviction & death sentence for "murder" in Dec '23 in connection w/the 2022 uprising. @khamenei_ir must immediately halt any plans to execute him & quash his conviction and sentence.
Today the U.N. Human Rights Council met for its standing agenda item on 🇮🇱 Israel. No other nation in the world is so targeted. There's no focus on: 🇮🇷 Islamic Republic of Iran 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia 🇵🇰 Pakistan 🇩🇿 Algeria 🇹🇷 Turkey 🇷🇺 Russia 🇨🇳 China 🇶🇦 Qatar 🇨🇺 Cuba 🇸🇾 Syria ...
JUST IN - Twitter/X is reportedly flagging some "Stand with Ukraine" tweets as offensive tweets.
Horrifying images (on left) emerging of #ArmitaGaravand, the 16 year old who is in a coma in #Iran after a reported confrontation with the hijab suppression forces in the Tehran metro. Hauntingly similar to the images of #MahsaAmini (on right) in hospital a year ago.
Another young woman beaten into coma for not wearing her Hijab properly. Another journalist threatened for reporting about it. Another family member in prison for speaking up. How many more does it need for @JosepBorrellF to revise the 🇪🇺 #Iran Policy? #ArmitaGaravand

Tonight is a historic night for Manitobans and every Canadian. A huge congratulations to @WabKinew. The first First Nations Premier elected in Canada. You've inspired generations of Indigenous youth to come. With the Manitoba NDP, the future is looking brighter. 🧡
If you want to know why Iranian people do not believe the lies of the regime about #ArmitaGaravand see how morality police attack women for not wearing hijab. The Handmaid's Tale by @MargaretAtwood is not a fiction for us Iranian women. It’s a reality.
16-year-old Armita Geravand is now in a coma after being beaten by the morality police of the Islamic regime (which the New York Times said was disbanded). On November 2nd, the Islamic regime will be Chair of the U.N. Human Rights Council Social Forum. Why, @antonioguterres?
Breaking: A relative of Mahsa Jina Amini, symbol of the #WomanLifeFreedom revolution, has been detained. 1. Islamic Republic agents raided Safa Aeli's home, uncle to Jina Amini, detaining him. As Jina's September 16th anniversary nears, arrests are escalating.
Nazila Maroufian, the journalist who interviewed the father of Mahsa Jina Amini, has been arrested for the fourth time in under a year. Today, oppressors stormed her house, smashed the door, and violently abducted her. Ironically, the world’s most anti-woman regime is terrified…
Today the Islamic Republic killed another young protester. Let’s say his nam: #JavadRohi. His only ‘crime’ was dancing and leading a peaceful, protest against Islamic Republic after the brutal murder of #MahsaAmini. The authorities sentence him to three times executions and now…

.@amnesty is gravely concerned that Majid Kazemi, Saleh Mirhashemi and Saeed Yaghoubi are at imminent risk of execution at central Esfahan prison (also known as Dastgerd prison) after Iran’s Supreme Court upheld their unjust convictions and death sentences in early May 2023. 1/5

Supportes of the Islamic regime have attacked brutally a little child for not wearing the hijab! #MahsaAmini #SaraShirazi #IRGCterrorists #سارا_شیرازی
The Swiss ambassador Nadine Olivieri Lozano is a disgusting genocide glorifier who made a special trip to Iran just to shake hands with the Islamic Republic. Imagine knowing women are getting raped for not wearing hijab, then going out of your way to hop on a plane and dine with…
While teenagers & women are getting beaten, jailed & killed for saying NO to forced hijab, NO to gender apartheid regime, Swiss ambassador in Iran obeyed forced hijab. Shameful & betrayal to Iranian women. Switzerland must respond why they took side with our killers. #MahsaAmini
Western lawmakers often ask us how they can best support the people of Iran. The Swiss ambassador in full conservative religious covering — amidst cries of #WomanLifeFreedom, while brave Iranian women risk everything for freedom — is exactly what you should NOT do.

Many Iranians are very upset about these scenes on social media. #Switzerland also didn’t adopt the EU human rights sanctions on #Iran’s regime following #MahsaAmini’s murder. It’s unfortunately prioritizing its neutrality.
