This is your reminder that Mahsa Amini's Kurdish name was Jina. The violence she faced wasn't just due to her being a woman, it was also because she was Kurdish. Kurdish people face ethnic cleansing and violence across the SWANA region and Turkey. Kurdish people are not allowed to use their Kurdish names under these regimes.

She wasn't allowed to use her real name in life, please at least grant her the mercy of using her true name in death.

Her name was Jina.

"Who do we call when the police murders?

به کی زنگ بزنیم وقتی قاتل خودش پلیسه؟

Graffiti seen in Iran during the ongoing protests following the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22yr old woman who fell into a coma after being beaten in police custody.

Ms Amini, an ethnic Kurd who was from the western city of Saqez in Kurdistan province, died in hospital on Friday after spending three days in a coma.

She was detained outside a metro station in Tehran last Tuesday by morality police. They accused her of breaking the law requiring women to cover their hair with a headscarf, and their arms and legs with loose clothing.

According to witnesses, she was beaten while inside a police van that took her to a detention centre.

Protests erupted in Saqez after her funeral on Saturday, with security forces reportedly opening fire on a crowd that marched towards the local governor's office.

There were also clashes between protesters and riot police in Sanandaj, Kurdistan's capital, on Saturday and Sunday.

Four people were reportedly killed in Iran's Kurdish region on Monday when security forces opened fire during protests over the death, a Kurdish rights group said.

Her death has been condemned nationwide, with the Persian hashtag reaching nearly 2 million Twitter mentions.

The most intense demonstrations have been in Iranian Kurdistan, where authorities have previously put down unrest among minority Kurds.

three people have been murdered and another three wounded in paris yesterday morning (23rd of december 2022) after a 69-year old white man attack and shot up a kurdish cultural center and then a nearby restaurant and hairdresser’s. he had previously been detained for almost a year for attacking a migrant detention center with a sword in december 2021 and wounding two people with a sword. despite this and a previous track record of violence, french authorities had not marked him as a possible terrorist threat.

after the attack, a grieving and angered crowd of franco-kurdish protestors confronted cops, angered by the police’s slow reaction to the attack, as well as lack of increased security despite previous threats to this center. the minister of the interior has admitted that the attack was likely to be based in racist motives, but claims it isn’t a far-right attack. he also did nothing as cops gassed the grieving protestors.

so far we know the names of two of the victims: kurdish singer mîr perwer, and a student and iranian-kurdish feminist activist, emine kara. may their memories be a blessing.

here are english and french-language sources, i’ll update as more info comes out and when there are fundraisers for the survivors.

We have to stand for Palestine!

Stand for what is right and advocate for their rights.

However don't mistake calling out Israeli Government for hatred towards Jews.

Remember there are Palestinian Jews, and that there are Jews that have been discriminated against either in their countries of origin or in Israel, like Yemeni Jews, Burakhan Jews, Kurdish Jews, etc.

Racism of the Islamic Republic regime

Something that has been neglected in topics of protests in Iran is racism. It is often left out of discussions by those of us in or outside of Iran who weren't the direct victims of these antihuman crimes. There's a huge difference between human rights violations in central Persian cities and border non-Persian ones. Persians and other ethnic groups who live in central areas are the targets of enough antihuman acts by this regime that shows the terrorist face of them, just imagine how everything is ×100 worse in non-central areas. Here are some examples:

Arabs in the south: it is estimated that more than 2 million Arabs live in iran. This ethnic minority is severely oppressed and violated. The regime has been capturing and executing Arabs and Arab activists with no clear reason other than being criminal dictators themselves, like how they've been violating and killing Kurds and Balochs in the past 4 decades. Many Arab families have been forcefully moved and pushed to corners, literally in a geographic sense. Racism exist in the Iranian populations like any other country and nation in the world. But it is promoted and supported by the regime. Jina revolution has brought this issue to attention and social activists are doing anti racist activism now, something that wasn't addressed enough before.

Kurds in the west: people of Kurd never accepted the authority of this regime and fought their forces with all their might. Many Kurds citizens and Kurd activists have been the victims of government murder or long imprisonments simply for being freedom fighters. Also, kurds are denied many legal and social rights in Iran, for example not getting hired by governmental organizations, unless they sell their souls to the regime. Because of this many highly educated Kurds can't find a job and they're forced into doing unrelated or illegal labor that often gets them killed. To understand the severity of this issue I recommend you read this article "koolbars new slaves" thoroughly.

Balochs in the east: people of Baloch are victims of the IR regime's racism towards our neighbors, Afghans and Pakistanis. The regime refuses to provide ID papers for Balochs with the excuse that they might be Afghan and not Iranian. The Balochistan province is kept extremely underdeveloped by the regime to the point that many people don't have drinking water there. Kurd and Arab cities are also kept underdeveloped even though most of those areas are rich with natural resources that could easily be used for development. Since many Baloch people are denied id papers they have no legal rights and the regime often gets away with whatever human rights violations, like executions, r*pe, and torture, they do there. Other than the issue of legal rights, the islamic republic had been very successful in isolating Balochistan and keeping the rest of the world including the rest of Iran of knowing who Balochs are and what is really going on in that region. Jina revolution has also brought the issues in Balochistan to attention.

Aside from these intentional neglects, the language and culture of these ethnicities are under attack by the regime.

Other ethnic groups in Iran face discrimination to different degrees by IR. One thing that plays a great role in the level of racism by the regime is religion. Sunni Muslims are very hated and suppressed by the Islamic Republic here. Therefore kurd cities with a majority of Sunni Muslim population face a worse fate than the majority of shia cities. The regime also spreads a lot of hate towards sunni Muslims by accusing them of fanaticism and animosity which used to work on the old shia religious population. Kurds, Balochs, Arab and Turkmens in Iran have the majority sunni Muslim population. They are also the most repressed. Apart from sunni Muslims, Jewish, Zoroastrian, Baha'i and christian believers face discrimination in different ways by the regime.

The only way a war against big criminal bullies like the Islamic Republic can be won is by coming together and unite as people regardless of race, religion, sexuality and gender. Something that seemed not possible 2 years ago but Jîna revolution showed us that it is very much a possibility. We still have a lot of work to do but people took the first step in unity and solidarity. I recommend you read the article below twice to see the dept of what's going on in Iran and why the Islamic Republic overthrow and this revolution is vital to many marginalized people:

REPORT: Approximately 400 Kurdish Youth Missing

Per IranWire, a human rights group has reported that approximately 400 Kurdish teenagers (including minors) have been "abducted" during the past few months. In a previous post, I've explained that as a minority Kurds are in even greater danger as it is, so this is especially concerning. Please bring attention to this situation and be these kids' voices.

For those who don’t know Voria Ghafouri, he is one of the most beloved and best football players of Iran. He has been an outspoken critic of the Islamic Republic. He is Kurdish-Iranian, plays for an Iranian team and lives in Iran with his family. His sister was also heavily involved in fighting the ban on Iranian women attending sports stadiums.  

We Iranians have a deep connection with football. It is the most popular sport in Iran and since the beginning, it has been closely connected to Iranian politics. We do expect our football players to stand with the people because they are from the people and of the people. That’s why we have been massively disappointed in Iran’s national team.

Although he lives in Iran with his family, Voria has never shied away from speaking out and standing with the people. Voria could face the death penalty for his activism. This is not the first time Voria has been arrested but it may be the last. 

All Iranians, like Voria, who speak out and criticize the Islamic Republic are risking their lives. They are brave, courageous heroes of Iran. 

Please keep on spreading the news about Iran. We have to be their voice and do everything we can to support them and to make sure that people like Voria are not executed.

everyday for the past two months it's been waking up in the morning to the most horrifying war crimes being committed by a fascist colonial power run by a death cult, followed by said power fabricating the most offensive and easily debunked lies to excuse said war crimes, then the entire fucking world media believing them and waving around their pathetic little crocodile tears as i pass by the news that the soldiers of that world power shot an old woman in the entrance of a hospital and used her as bait to shoot any medic who tried helping her, followed by a video of parents looking through the charred remains of children's limbs and scalps trying to recognize their own. and then i go to brazilian TV and find the news that a brazilian palestinian has finally been able to leave Gaza and all the reporters wanna focus on is how they're probably a terrorist because of these posts from 2015 where they condemn israel's actions. and then i look at the presidents of the only few nations who have the power to stop this genocide with a single phone call and how they entirely refuse to do shit about it, just to be told on tumblr dot com that praying for the dismantlement of the state of israel is evil and inconsiderate because don't you know they suffered really really badly in the past (but also please don't google the rates of poverty of holocaust survivors and how they're treated by the government of the country that was supposed to be a safe haven. well at least george from pennsylvania can move and have a beautiful view of the burned olive tress from the multigenerational house he stole in the west bank, and isn't THAT what really matters)

#anyways today's lie was the israeli government posting a picture of a kurdish woman who had been raped and killed in may 2023 #claiming it is a israeli woman from oct 7 #meanwhile they ravage Al Shifa hospital because there are terrorist bases there guys trust us!!!!! #they're right behind these premature babies suffocating because the incubators have no more energy!!!!! #just one more group of terrorist guys and we'll be fine and have peace forever!!!!!! #god what a bunch of ghouls #and western powers are gladly funding this shit #but nooooo don't call for a free palestine don't u know it's actually a call for genocide 🥺 unlike whatever we are doing in gaza #godddd #fuck the US fuck France fuck Germany fuck Russia and FUCK ISRAEL 🖕🖕🖕 #''right to defend itself'' babygirl you don't even have a right to exist. your PEOPLE have a right to exist and feel safe like all others #but no nation state has rights and especially none that prioritize its own existence over indigenous people's lives

[lesbiansandgayssupporttheminers]

Apologies for the Torygraph link, but I think this is pretty important to share.

Firstly, obviously, solidarity with the families of those were killed, and the wider Kurdish community.

Secondly, there’s a point to be made here about who the police are protecting- because it doesn’t seem to be the Kurdish community.

Arab racists attacked a Kurdish citizen in Baghdad, Iraq, because he was wearing Kurdish clothing, at a gathering where he, like others, was waiting for the election results.

persian women took the killing of a kurdish woman and the resulting jin jîyan azadî movement, inherently kurdish in its origins, and portrayed it to the world as theirs instead of acknowledging where it came from. it will never not make me angry

#i could punch a hole in the wall rn #these protest mostly took place in the kurdish region while it was crickets in the rest of iran #people who participated are still being charged. i follow this iran based human rights org. not a single one was persian #oh i could go up in flames right this moment #because they know! and they do this on purpose #the streets were yelling jin jîyan azadî. not zin zindigî azadî. they know and they dismiss it on purpose #they'll be all about feminism until it's the rights of kurdish people. #nesi rants
