Interview with Nele, Nika Shakarami’s girlfriend by Zeit Magazine

‘‘Nika loved the moon, and it became an important symbol in their relationship, says Nele. When they missed each other, they would say: “We don’t live in the same country, but beneath the same sky.” Sometimes, Nika would tell Nele over the phone that she was looking at the moon, saying: You should go outside too, Nele, so we can look at it together. They even called each other “my moonie.” Or Niki and Neli. Or Haku and Chihiro, like the main characters in the anime film “Spirited Away,” which both of them loved. The story involves a courageous boy helping a shy girl escape a world full of monsters. “That was us,” Nele says today‘‘

Nika Shakarami was a 16 year old brave Iranian girl who was kidnapped by the police during the ongoing protests in Iran, brutally tortured, raped and murdered in cold blood. Her burial was on her birthday. Say her name, Nika Shakarami

Anyone who appreciates the freedoms many of us take for granted should be happy to support freedom for the people of Iran by reblogging this post

Recently, 227 out of 290 members of Iran parliament voted to execute those who were arrested in the past 8 weeks of uprising. According to Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), the number of arrested protesters are more than 14,000 people. Islamic republic has a long history of mass murders. In the 1988 massacres of political prisoners, more than 30,000 people were executed. In 2019 protests, the government killed more than 1,500 protesters during the internet shutdown. They never stop their criminal ways because blood and bone is the foundation of their reign.

These people, who have the dream of freedom in mind, are going to be sentenced to death if international human rights organizations don't do something about it. We're not talking about nameless faceless people. These 14,000 lives have friends and families, pets and lovers. Let's get to know some of them:

This is Hossein Ronaghi. He is an iranian blogger and human rights activist. He's also a computer programmer and one of his activism areas is internet restrictions and how to go around them. He has a long history of political activities and since 2009 protests, he has been a political prisoner on and off. During current protests, he was called to turn himself into Evin prison or his family will be in danger, so he did that. But even though he was there voluntarily, security forces violently attacked him and beat him. Currently he's in prison with broken legs and no medical attention and a 46-day-long hunger strike. His life is in danger.

These are Elaheh Mohammadi and Niloofar Hamedi, the two journalists who covered Mahsa Amini's murder news. This is not the first time the government arrest and punish someone who spread a crime news instead of arresting those who committed said crime. Media freedom is a joke in Iran and those who speak the truth get silenced. A while ago in an interview with Shargh daily, the newspaper Niloofar works for, she addressed sexism in her field of occupation and explained: "sometimes a female journalist would think with herself maybe I should just give up this job, this job has many safety issues and the salary isn't good at all. but most of them stay. Women journalists never give up."

This is Fatemeh Sepehri, a political activist. She oppose Khamenei leadership and demands a democratic future for iran. She's a mother who lost her child custody to sexism. Her husband was a martyr of Iran-Iraq war. Her brother is also a political prisoner. She was kidnapped at the beginning of current protests and is being kept in solitary confinement.

This is Leyla Hosseinzade, former Tehran university student. She didn't believe in hijab and still doesn't. She refuse to wear hijab while in jail and that put her in a dangerous situation with security guards. She's currently on a hunger strike.

This is Faezeh Barahui, a young Baluchi girl who was arrested during protests in Zahedan, has been in prison for weeks.

This is Fetemeh Mashhadi Abbas, a professor in Shahid Beheshti university of medical sciences. She was kidnapped and is now being kept in Evin prison.

This is Toomaj Salehi, Iranian rapper who's songs are mostly protest songs aimed at the regime. He was brutally arrested and is under heavy torture at the moment.

This is Nazila Maroufian, a journalist who's in Evin prison because she interviewed with Mahsa Amini's father.

This is Marzieh Ziari, a women's rights activist in iran who was arrested and her current condition is unknown.

There are many many many more people. This is just a thin list of more known ones. According to HRANA, among all these arrested citizens, 1,941 of them have been identified and their arrests have become publicly known, 438 of them are university students. Children are among prisoners too but their number has not been reported. The wellbeing or placement of some prisoners are not known and that causes a lot of concerns.

Kian Pirfalak was a 10 year old Iranian boy who was murdered by the anti-riot police after they opened fire on his family’s car. This was his funeral today. His father passed away today as a result of his injuries too.

Freedom for Iran and the Persian people 🙏

40th day since Ghazaleh Chelabi was murdered in the protests against dictatorship and misogyny. Women are burning their hijab at her graveside.

This is Yalda Aghafzali. She was 19. She was arrested during protests and was kept for 11 days in Qarchak prison, a notorious women-only prison. It is famous for inhuman and violent behavior towards women. A former prisoner once called it "a place of exile where you wait for your gradual death".

Yalda committed su icide a couple of days after her release. In a series of voice messages she sent to her friends after her release she said:

I've never been beaten in my life as much as I got beaten now. My whole body hurts. I've screamed so much my voice is hoarse. But I expressed no regret. They wrote in my file "the accused did not express remorse", I was like YEAH EXACTLY!

There is going to be big protest on November 15th they will probably cut of our internet...don't forget us...

‎17-year-old innocent girl ⁦‪#Arnica‬⁩ was brutally beaten to death and mercenaries claim ‘she jumped from the 4th floor of a building’ tho she died from severe head injuries caused by a baton.

Here’s the Latest Update of the Iranian Protests

We are here for you Iran we will try our best to be there for you and fight with you

The teargas effect is reduced by smoke. That's one of the reasons why protesters put dumpster cans on fire. The smoke null the teargas. Cigarette smoke is also helpful when blowing in face. It soothes the eyes.

Iran never stopped fighting you just choose to ignore what was happening

🚨🚨Innocent Man Sentenced to Death as Scapegoat for True Murderer in Iran🚨🚨

So, I'm sure that everyone who's been following current events in Iran has heard of the story of Kian Pirfalak by now. For those of you who don't know, Kian was a nine year old boy who was randomly shot to death in his family's car by someone from the regime, and his father had to be hospitalized due to sustaining horrible injuries himself. His family has constantly been threatened and harassed for wanting to tell the truth about their son's death. (I'll spare you guys some of the more heartbreaking details.)

Now, a man who had nothing to do with Kian's murder was forced to confess to killing Kian under torture and sentenced to death, while the actual killer, who, yes, is with the regime, gets of scot-free. An innocent man is now at risk of being executed at any moment, and we need to bring as much attention to this as possible. In fact, Kian's parents themselves have been adamant that he is not responsible for their son's cruel, untimely death, and we must add our voices to theirs to successfully campaign for his freedom.

His name is Mojahed Kurkur. Please spread this post, and say his name to save his life.

Keep fighting

We must not stop advocating please don’t stop this serious. Do something anything reblog,post your opinion, etc. but please don’t scroll pas after reading this disregarding this cause we need to advocate and shout as loud as we can now

-biseamstress

please reblog this please to get the word out better.

Could I ask you guys to do a favour for me? I don't know if you've heard it or not but there is some news going on that our protests have succeeded and morality police has been shut down. This is a half truth. And half-truths are worse than lies. Let me explain.

While it's true that it has been "shut down" (at least in theory) it's nothing to celebrate about. As it's just a strategy to calm the people (the gullible ones at least) and show themselves as good people to the outside world. As soon as they feel the protests are dying down they will bring it back tenfold.

Hijab is still a law in the constitution. You will still not be serviced anywhere if you're not a hijabi. there are still polices and extremists who will crackdown and arrest women who are not wearing their hijab. So just because the morality police is disbanded doesn't mean that there is a freedom to choose at all.

Furthermore, simply the shutdown of the morality police is NOT the Iranian people's goal In these protests. We don't just want the morality police gone. We want THE ENTIRE REGIME gone.

So I want you guys to once again be our voices and let everyone know that this war is still not done, and ask them to not turn their attention away from us. I will now copy and paste the text you will need to tweet (or you can use your own words) and the organizations you need to tag. Remember the hashtag #mahsa amini as well.

*Some international news sites are talking about the Iranian people winning the revolution because the morality police has stopped working. The work of morality police has not been stopped and only its name has been changed*

*This is a PR move by the regime to quiet the upcoming nationwide protests. After 3 months of violence, rape, imprisonment & murder of protesters, it’s too little too late. This uprising is no longer just about draconian dress codes. The Iranian people want democracy.*
