I’m running out of words to describe my astonishment. Just over 3 weeks after #MahsaAmini’s death, women are defiantly walking on the streets of #Tehran, with no hijab…while cars are honking in their supports. Mahsa couldn’t have imagined how she changed life for many Iranians.
Wow! #Tehran’s underground… 5 weeks after the death of #MahsaAmini in the custody of morality police for allegedly not wearing her hijab properly… #Iran
I’ve covered #Iran for 15 years and lived there for 25 yrs. I believe what we are witnessing now is nothing like before. Look at these two women, standing on top of police cars, shouting: we don’t want the Islamic Republic… #Mahsa_Amini#MahsaAmini
Her mother was killed in #Iran protests. Standing over her grave, with her shaved her, holding her hair in her hand, not wearing compulsory hijab… This is how defiance looks like… Iranian women are making history.
#MahsaAmini
یک هفته است که جسمم اینجاست و خودم غایبم.صبح که بچههام رو می رسونم مدرسه، حوصله گپ زدن با هیچ مادری رو ندارم، سرم رو میکنم تو گوشیم و قدمهام رو سریع می کنم که با کسی همصحبت نشم. دغدغههای مردم اینجا برام شوخیه. هستم ولی نیستم. من از ایران رفتم، اما ایران از من نرفته...
Students are chanting: Bullets and guns are no longer working…tell my mother she no longer has a daughter (meaning she will be killed)

Today #Iran’s President Raisi went to #Alzahra university, one of the least political universities which is why it was chosen for his to visit. This is how he was received… protesters are chanting: We don’t want a corrupt system, we don’t a murderer guest (meaning Raisi)
