Sagar Gholami has been sentenced to death in Iran for protesting the violent, repressive regime. She is just 19 years old, and like every young woman she just wants to sing, dance, express herself and be free. Her mother asks you retweet her plight.
Be her voice.

🆘Another athlete’s life is in serious danger in Iran.
Benyamin Naqdi is a champion in kickboxing and Muay Thai and has won several titles in these sports.
Today, his mother went to the prison where he is being held to collect some of his personal belongings, but she was not allowed to see him and was given no opportunity to contact him.
State media have already broadcast a video of what appear to be forced confessions from him.
Given his situation, and after recent remarks by Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje’i calling for an acceleration of executions, concerns are now growing about the possibility that his death sentence could soon be carried out.

The banana peel you tossed on the trail is going to get a bear killed.
Every single apple core and orange peel left on a trail teaches a nearby bear that human hiking trails are a food source.
In bears, it is almost always fatal.
Wildlife managers have a phrase for it: "A fed bear is a dead bear."
Once a bear associates humans with food it keeps coming back. It gets bolder. It approaches campsites. It gets too close to people.
At that point there is no rehabilitation, no relocation that reliably works. The bear gets euthanized.
The bear didn't do anything wrong. It learned exactly what we taught it.
Leave no trace means leave no trace.
Pack it in. Pack it out. Every time.

Shahin Vahedparast was the other protester who was executed by hanging in Iran today.
He was 31 years old.
And that’s almost all we know about him.
Because the internet was cut by the regime and sources tell us that his family was threatened into silence.
You get hanged for the crime of protesting with empty hand in 21st century and some still call this regime a normal government.
Many more are waiting to be executed for the same reason.
Please, don’t get used to this. Don’t scroll past it like it’s normal.
It’s not.
Use your voice. Because your voice still matters and it might be the only thing
that can stop the next execution.

This morning the Islamic regime in Iran killed two more protester by hanging. Look at his face. This is one of them; Mohammadamin Biglari. Only 19. A caregiver. A young man trying to hold his world together after losing his mother, while taking care of his sick father. Right now, Iranians are living under bombs and fear. And still, the regime finds the time, to take prisoners out of their cells, one by one, and execute them to send a message to the rest of the population: Don’t come back to the streets. Why would this regime stop executing protesters? When the threats, of this war target a nation, but not the men who hang its youth. When Western leaders speak of international law, yet fail to use it to hold these crimes accountable. 💔

"To say this threat could have been caused by Girlguiding’s recent decision to abide by the law demonstrates a lack of regard both for safeguarding and the truth."

“We inhabit a universe where atoms are made in the centers of stars; where each second a thousand suns are born; where life is sparked by sunlight and lightning in the airs and waters of youthful planets; where the raw material for biological evolution is sometimes made by the explosion of a star halfway across the Milky Way; where a thing as beautiful as a galaxy is formed a hundred billion times - a Cosmos of quasars and quarks, snowflakes and fireflies, where there may be black holes and other universe and extraterrestrial civilizations whose radio messages are at this moment reaching the Earth. How pallid by comparison are the pretensions… how important it is for us to pursue and understand science, that characteristically human endeavor.”

Afghanistan women secretly speak:
"We are not humans."
"We do not have feelings."
"We have nothing."
"We have to go out with a man."
"We can't talk outside."
"We can't talk loudly inside our home."
"Women and girls are banned from education rights."
"Save Afghan women."💔

@AmnestyUK You went to court to argue women aren't protected in UK law!
You side with men who regularly send us threats.
You are as bad as the men in this film.

Terrible news from Tehran: I just heard that the Iranian authorities today arrested the great human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh. It's not known where she has been taken. Nasrin has been mentioned as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize for her unflinching courage and moral leadership. I hope thought leaders worldwide will call on the Iranian authorities to release this brave woman who represents the best of Iran. Her husband, Reza Khandan, is already in prison serving a sentence for advocating for women's rights. Iran should release them -- and all political prisoners. It was wrong for the Shah to imprison people for peaceful expression of political views, and it's wrong for the Islamic Republic to do so today.

The regime’s execution machine has sped up and is rapidly executing innocent prisoners. With every additional day the terrorist regime stays in power, more people are executed and tortured. In recent days, many people have been executed. Five Iranian protesters sentenced to death in the Basij base fire case in Tehran have reportedly been transferred from Qezel Hesar prison to an unknown location for execution. Families say the confessions were forced, and the accused neither set the fire nor took part in the destruction. #Iran #DigitalBlackoutIran
