I just saw a news article refer to the Iranian protests as "anti-hijab protests," and while I think most people realize this, I wanted to write a post about this anyway. I'm not Iranian, and if there's something I misunderstand, I'm open to any Iranian correcting me. But here's what I've gathered from posts by Iranians:
The protests are not "anti-hijab" protests. That is an oversimplification that is so simplified it's incorrect. The protests go beyond the hijab issue. Iranian women are forced to wear the hijab. If they don't wear it they can be beaten or even murdered. If they speak out against, they can get beaten or murdered. If their families spread the word about what happened, their families could be murdered. Children have been murdered.
Mahsa/Jina Amini's murder was the catalyst for the revolution, but it wasn't the root cause, and nor is the hijabs in and of themselves. The people of Iran are protesting because they're sick and tired of living under an oppressive regime their whole lives. They're fighting for the right to wear a hijab or not wear a hijab as they please...and not be murdered because of that choice. They're fighting to end the oppression of women and the country in general. They're not "anti-hijab."
Hey y’all I need some advice
How do you know if a person likes someone maybe some of your success stories with crushes can help decipher if the person I like like me back. Any story can work thank you!!!
Mohsen Shekari was the first protestor to be executed today.
His name must NOT go unmentioned. If the government realizes they can execute people under the world's nose, they will do it by the thousands. Please spread the word. Say his name. We must not allow them to senselessly kill our people.
These are also the names of eight people who are set to be executed. For killing one armed basiji who would've killed tens of people and injured hundreds had he remained alive. We must be their voices.

Ashkan Mahmoodi Nejad has recorded a video of himself explaining how the “police” forcefully pulled his wife, Somayeh Mahmoodi Nejad, out of a taxi, fired six bullets at her and killed her in front of their 8 y.o child.
Somayeh was an innocent woman and was killed in cold blood in front of her little child.
This crime was committed a month ago.
Tell her story.
made by me❤️🩹🏰
their parallels are so personal to me
Mohammad Ali Rezaei, a psychology student and artist, who is being held in the custody. Be the voice of imprisoned protestors.
On the chehelom of a number of protestors in Javanroud (40th day since their passing), the Islamic Republic forces opened fire on the people, and Burhan Eliasi was killed as a result of the direct fire of these forces. According to the report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on Saturday, December 31, 2022, Burhan Eliasi, a 22-year-old shopkeeper, was taken to the hospital after being hit by a bullet from the Islamic Republic forces. Hengaw has been informed that, in addition to the death of Burhan Eliasi, eight other people were seriously injured during the shooting by the Islamic Republic forces toward the people who were mourning the passing of our fallen heroes. According to the information obtained by Hengaw, 1 child was among the injured, and the condition of 2 other persons is reported as critical.
In the course of today’s events, in addition to blocking the road leading to the cemetery, the Islamic Republic forces shot at the citizens inside and outside the city, and according to the videos published by Hengaw, they shot tear gas at the people as well.
