#jina emini

[stormysapphic]

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.

#my friend doesn't have a tumblr & her original post on instagram abt this was not in english so i couldn't just repost it #so this is a short summary of her message #if you need to know more i'm not the person to ask abt this & you should go check out kurdish activists' posts and articles on this event #personal #mahsa amini #jîna emînî #jina emini #iran #kurdistan #kurdish #social justice #feminism #police brutality

officially 41 people have been killed in the protests following the murder of jina mahsa amini, but some estimate around 57 were killed. hundreds have been arrested. the iranian government is calling for “the need for decisive action without leniency” which hints that they’ll probably be killing and attacking more harshly

keep speaking up about iran! the situation is dire and people are risking their lives on the streets by speaking against the regime.

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.

Sakine Cansız, a founding member of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and one of the leading figures in the Kurdish women’s movement, who was killed with two other female activists in Paris a decade ago, predicted today’s nationwide “Jin, Jîyan, Azadî – Woman, Life, Freedom” uprising led by Kurdish women in Iran, way back in 2011.

Cansız’s 2011 interview during a conference of the Eastern Kurdistan Women’s Union, which included an analysis of and predictions about the women’s struggle in the Kurdish-populated regions of western Iran known as Rojhilat, was published for the first time in 2022.

Cansız stresses in the interview that the Kurdish women’s struggle has the power to lead not only Kurdish women but also all Persian, Baloch and Azeri women in the region.

“Women have no friends other than the struggle for freedom,” she says.

Emphasising the historical importance of women organising in Rojhilat, Cansız says, “The greatest response to the system that stole women’s freedom from them was women joining the struggle.”

Born in Tunceli (Dersim) in eastern Turkey in 1958 and becoming one of the first pioneers of the Kurdish Women’s Movement, Cansız was imprisoned after the 12 September 1980 military coup in the infamous Diyarbakır (Amed) Prison, which would later go down in the country’s history for the inhumane treatment and torture of its prisoners.

After she was released from prison in 1991, she was among the founders of the Patriotic Women’s Association, the first Kurdish women’s institution in the metropolitan city of Istanbul.

Cansız was still an active and prominent member of the Kurdish women’s movement when she was killed in 2013 in a Kurdish information centre in Paris. The gunman, who was Turkish, allegedly had connections with the Turkish intelligence service (MİT) and as well as Cansız, he killed two other female activists; Fidan Doğan, who was at the time a diplomatic representative of the Kurdistan National Congress, and Leyla Şaylemez, a Kurdish youth movement activist.

That incident has remained unresolved and has caused great distress among the Kurds, fuelling mistrust in European institutions.

People asking "Is what is going on in Iran, like, a feminist thing or is it more like a proper political revolution?" reminds me so much of George W. Bush saying, when asked about women's rights in Iraq, that first they needed to tend to human rights, women's rights would come later. Do continue to show your whole misogynist ass every day for the whole world to see, Tumblr. Good ol’ W represented your true opinion, like all American fascists always do.

What are your thoughts on buying Hogwarts Legacy and supporting JKR? Obviously I'm okay with being a Harry Potter fan because I am myself one but giving her money is just a big NO.

I don't support Rowling's transphobic views at all but she also donates money to Afghan and Iranian women, so I absolutely would give her my money as an Iranian woman myself. I don't play video games, nor do I buy official merch which is movie based anyway, but I am not going to criticise anyone for giving her money that can (and will) help women who are brutally oppressed under evil Islamic regimes.

You might say 'just donate the money yourself', but let's be honest, how many people are going to do that? I absolutely do but most people won't. I mean I would never spend $70 on a game that can be pirated even if I were a gamer – I already pirate everything from movies and books to hypnosis audios – but thousands of people apparently do and if that money helps Muslim women, probably the most oppressed class in the world, it is very well spent.

I have the same opinion on giving her a platform. Her Twitter is full of support for Iranian and Afghan women and for me, that is a very big deal.

If she was only transphobic, I would have agreed with you, anon, but as it happens, she might be a terrible person on one front but she is greatly helpful on another one. My own (very anti-regime) relatives live in Iran and they are at a high risk. If her money helps them and other people from my country, I am not going to oppose that.

Gravestone of Jîna Emînî (Mahsa Amini): "Dear Jîna, you are not dead, your name become the Code." (In Kurdish language, Jîna means life.)

a video by a kurdish activist on the situation with jîna emînî's name vs its iranian version, mahsa amini. watch this for info on the suppression of kurdish names in iran & why it's so important to highlight jîna's kurdish name and ethnicity when discussing her murder in the hands of the iranian police.

News from Mahabad, Iran: A gathering was held by city authorities, where the people were told the governor would deliver a speech. Instead, security forces opened fire. The number of casualties are unknown. You should be sick to your stomach.

Persian new year is here and time to reflect on the year that past. Last year this day, I hated being Iranian and living in Iran. Today I couldn't be more proud of my people. In the last six months, Iranians raised against the criminal dictatorship currently running this country and fought for democracy and human rights. Many were murdered, many were arrested. Many are still in prison. Men, women, and children. Their families are devastated and have to spend this new year without their loved ones. But people are still hopeful. I'm still hopeful. And I have only one wish: next year this day, we celebrate new year with this regime gone.

Down with the Islamic Republic. Long live freedom.

Happy new year my fellow iranians and people of neighbor countries who also celebrate nowruz. 🌱

I'm so glad that some of you guys have helped spread the word about Amini's death. I know it's a really serious topic, but I hope you all recognize that for me as a persian girl/a girl whose family is from Iran it felt very personal. and I was especially disgusted after seeing the posts saying some people were ignoring it because they thought it'd be islamophobic to spread the word (and just to clarify: no, fighting an oppressive regime that has tried to erase parts of our culture is NOT islamophobic. This is something that actively causes HARM to people. This is something that's getting people KILLED)

i would also like to note: I believe some of the people who are accusing the protests of islamophobia are, as far as I can tell, Arab.

I believe this is enough to show why I find that especially upsetting.
