An Iranian competitive climber left South Korea on Tuesday after competing at an event in which she climbed without her nation’s mandatory headscarf covering, authorities said. Farsi-language media outside of Iran warned she may have been forced to leave early by Iranian officials and could face arrest back home, which Tehran quickly denied.
The decision by Elnaz Rekabi, a multiple medalist in competitions, to forgo the headscarf, or hijab, came as protests sparked by the Sept. 16 death in custody of a 22-year-old woman have entered a fifth week. Mahsa Amini was detained by the country’s morality police over her clothing.
The demonstrations, drawing school-age children, oil workers and others to the street in over 100 cities, represent the most-serious challenge to Iran’s theocracy since the mass protests surrounding its disputed 2009 presidential election.
A later Instagram post on an account attributed to Rekabi described her not wearing a hijab as “unintentional,” though it wasn’t immediately clear whether she wrote the post or what condition she was in at the time. The Iranian government routinely pressures activists at home and abroad, often airing what rights group describe as coerced confessions on state television.
Since the Islamic republic's propaganda is getting stronger:
No they didn't disband the morality police
Yes the mandatory hijab law is still going on
Iranians want a regime change not just reform
they are executing prisoners
The protests are still going on even more intense than before.
Citizens are not armed Iranians don't have easy access to weapons or firearms

Today the parents of Donya Farhadi have retrieved her body from the freezing Karun River after the student activist was kidnapped 9 days ago. Her parents had been looking for her the entire time. Rest in peace.
THIS is the girl you want me to blame for how her sons turned out? THIS is the girl you want me to believe deliberately turned them into hateful self-loathing criminals?
you want me to hate THIS woman, who drowns in her sorrows and bares the burdens of everyone around her, as if it was her own hand that carried through her family’s actions?
alicent hightower, my love, they could never turn me against you
A heavily lip-sticked grave
The final resting place of author Oscar Wilde, ridden with kisses, is not the only famous grave in the Parisian Père Lachaise Cemetery. Singers Jim Morrison and Serge Gainsbourg also attract a wealth of fans and mourners who leave blessings at their gravesides, normally in the form of lighters and/or cigarettes.
can anybody hear me
Happy Birthday Mikey Way!!
Next, I need help deciding who should play Amos Hart. You can pick between Sarah and Seth—both could be great in the role. I’m leaning toward Sarah, though, because in the Marble Hornets film Alex was making, Sarah’s character the love interest for Brian’s character. That would tie in nicely with Brian playing Roxie Hart. I’m not shipping Sarah and Brian or anything; I just think it would work well story-wise.
Ok the next person is Jay Merrick and who he should be in this fic
