Marzieh Ebrahimi was only 25 years old when acid was thrown into her face on the streets of Isfahan, Iran. Not because of a crime, and not because of violence… but because she was believed to have violated strict dress code standards imposed on Iranian women. In 2014, a wave of acid attacks terrorized women across the city. Women were targeted for not covering their faces. For existing… Today, let freedom ring over Iran.

“Virgin female prisoners should be raped before execution so that they do not go to heaven.” -Ayatollah Khomeini (founding leader of the Islamic regime in Iran). Just a reminder that this is the evil that Iranians are fighting.

Khamenei is dead. Good. But I have family in Iran. My dad is there right now. And I'm not celebrating yet. Here's why. Iran built the most layered contingency plan on Earth for this exact moment. Four levels of succession for every key position. Pre-authorized military strikes. Regional commanders who don't need orders from Tehran to act. As you read this, there is already a new Supreme Leader. We just don't know who. This isn't Maduro. The government didn't get overthrown. The system absorbed the hit. That's what it was designed to do. Every credible intel assessment says the same thing: a post-Khamenei Iran is more likely to get harder, not softer. More IRGC. More dangerous. Potentially worse for the Iranian people than Khamenei himself. Don't breathe yet. There's a long way to go.

Atefeh Rajabi Sahaaleh 16 yr old Iranian girl was executed a week after being sentenced to death by the head of the Neka’s court on charges of adultery and crimes against chastity after being repeatedly raped. This is Islamic law and how they view the victims of rape.








Brilliant to see our own Beccy Marston on @ITVCentral highlighting why protected cycle routes matter 🚲 “The number one reason people don’t cycle is because they don’t feel safe.” Safe infrastructure + quality training = confident, independent riders.
