The protests HAVE NOT ended. Ciwanro (Javanrud) is rising up once again! Every day is a 40th memorial of a fallen hero and every day people will take to the streets. The people will not be silenced or frightened into inaction.
hey, my kurdish friend wanted to point out that the iranian woman murdered by the police in tehran was a kurd and her kurdish name was jîna emînî. she has mostly been referred to as mahsa amini, the iranian version of her name, in the media & that can ofc still be used to make sure posts about her reach a mainstream audience. however people should make sure to mention her given kurdish name foremost, as well as highlight the fact that she was a kurd in the first place, because that played a part in her facing the violence that she did.

Iraqi Kurdistan or Iran, late 19th - early 20th century
A village girl, Palangan, Kurdistan, Iran. At the beginning of spring, Kurdish people according to their customs and culture, celebrate an annual celebration called Nowruz or kindling fire.
Iranian Kurdish woman takes a walk in the street without hijab while wearing Kurdish traditional clothes. For years the islamic republic has stifled Kurdish people and prevented them from speaking their own language and carrying out their customs.
Today the rest of Iran has risen up in protest to the death of a Kurdish women named Mahsa Amini in police custody. She was arrested for the “crime” of improper hijab. In reaction the government has shut down the internet and killed many of the protesters. Thousands are arrested. Don’t let them stifle our voice. Spread the news.
Here is Mahsa dancing with the Kurdish clothes before her death
Also leaving this here since today is the Remembrance Day for victims of the Anfal genocide.
Where Saddam Hussein (with the help of the MEK) and his cronies slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Kurds and Assyrians (and other minorities) in Iraq near the end of the Iran-Iraq war.
I posted about it earlier this year not too long ago.
A city in north-west Iran has run it's police and military out of town and is now being run my the people. But it's completely cut off from the rest of the world (no internet or phone lines ect), and if the government regains control they may kill everyone who lives there, especially if people outside Iran don't know what's happening.
Something like this has has happened before, with the Mahshahr massacre in 2019. Over 150 protesters were killed. We cannot let this happen again.
The city's name is Oshnavieh. Talk about it, tweet about it, make it a hashtag. Bring Oshnavieh to the public view.
The Persian New Year begins at the end of this month and I hope that liberation comes for people this year.
May all Iranian peoples be free, may we see the death of the Perseosupremacist theofascist Iranian regime, may the pursuit of liberation drag all the bloodthirsty power-worshippers to deep cold soil and insodoing bring life and love to everyone everywhere.
May all peoples be free.
Jin, jiyan, azadi.
A movement that I have not yet seen here on tumblr and more on tiktok. Seen as the currency of celebrities are fans and followers, they lose profits simultaneously to losing the attention from us. #BLOCK2024 calls to block all celebrities that are openly Zionist or have yet to speak up about the situation in Gaza. Blocking them insures that we won't be shown any posts or advertisments by the algorithm of whatever social media platform you may use. Block them everywhere you can find them, because the loss of profits might finally make them use their immense platforms. Here a list you can start with, happy blocking.

-Joe Biden
-Bert Kreischer

Persian new year is less than a week away. Last night was Chaharshanbeh Suri, a fire festival in Persian culture that takes place in the last Tuesday night/Wednesday morning of the year.
Last night a new wave of protests happened. Among fires and fireworks, people took to the streets, put mandatory hijab on fire, danced and chanted "death to the dictator". It was MAJESTIC. I missed this. Street protests are powerful, they bring you back to life.
But last night was too nerve wracking for me. I walked a line between crying and panicking all night long. Every corner I took I was reminded of people who have been murdered or injured in the last six months. People who have lost everything they knew. Animals who have been hurt and injured. Last night some fighting happened too. And I might have witnessed someone getting severely injured (hope they're alive). I don't want to nag. I feel like I've done that a lot. I just wish the regime fails eventually. I'm so tired of living like this.
People have posted some videos of last night. Just to give you a picture of what happened last night you can check these accounts: 1500tasvir iranwire and Iran International.
