At Sikiminia, Lesvos where refugees are arriving in dinghies having made the crossing from Turkey

100 days ago, on January 8th and 9th, millions of Iranians took to the streets knowing the price they might pay. More than 40,000 heroes paid that price for Iran's dignity, liberty, and freedom. Young women tore off their headscarves in front of armed security forces. Students organized, marched, and faced plainclothes agents on campuses. Teachers, lawyers, and workers walked off their jobs. Shopkeepers shuttered their stores in solidarity. Millions of ordinary people did extraordinary things in city after city in an epic display of national unity. The regime answered with bullets, mass arrests, and show trials and executions. Facing an inhuman evil, Iranians showed superhuman bravery. More than 40,000 gave their lives. My compatriots kept going and their courage belongs to history. This is the final battle and they are preparing to win the war against the Islamic Republic. In this battle to reclaim our nation, I will not stop fighting until the day they are free. We hope the world will be with us. Whether it is or not, our fight will continue and we will liberate Iran.

I’m coming to England on a boat. They can try to ban me, but they cannot ban the TRUTH. See you on May 16th🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

🚨 A devastated husband took his own life after regime agents raped his dead wife’s body and sent him the photos. Islamic Republic security forces raided the home of Saleheh Akbari and her husband Ahmad Khodaei. Saleheh, a 38-year-old nurse, operating room technician, and mountaineer, along with her husband, had opened their house to wounded protesters during the January 2026 uprising - people too terrified to go to hospitals because the regime was hunting them down. They treated the injured. They hid them. They saved lives. A few days later, regime agents stormed in. They beat Ahmad. Saleheh threw herself between them to protect her husband. They shot her point-blank in the heart - right in front of him and their young child. She died in his arms. Then came the unspeakable: agents assaulted Saleheh’s lifeless body, took photos of the desecration, and sent them to Ahmad as psychological torture. The sexual harassment and horror he endured pushed him beyond any human limit. Broken by grief, Ahmad posted a final goodbye letter to his wife on Instagram and took his own life. Two kind, brave souls - a mother and father who only showed humanity in a regime that has none - are gone.
