https://t.co/D8OMqCN9hX I saw CBC distributed this. In this interview, Prince Reza Pahlavi discusses Canada as a place of money laundering for #Iran Islamic regime. CBC show makes close captioning to emphasize. #MahsaAmini #مهسا_امینی

Nasrin Sotoudeh was re-imprisoned in 2018 for her legal representation of and advocacy for women protesting compulsory hijab laws. She told @TIME, “We expect support from everyone, because we are defending our common values and principles.” https://t.co/CAoq79sGqk #IranProtests

this is really good, she explains a lot of the class distinctions now going on, how enforcement varies depending on demographic,,etc., lots of the nuance you need to get what's really going on

Any meaningful change in #Iran must involve workers, teachers, and their official and unofficial unions. The strike at the chemical refinery in Asaluyeh may be one of the very first steps. Oct 10, 22.#IranProtests2022 pic.twitter.com/3nK1VySBjQ

Workers at a complex of refineries crucial for Iran’s massive offshore natural gas field protested Monday over the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, online videos appeared to show. It’s the first time the unrest has threatened Iran’s oil and gas industry. https://t.co/lAHb2frMX0

Notable: Iran's former minister of intelligence, Mohseni-Ejei, has over the last two decades been one of the most ruthless enforcers of Iran's Islamist dictatorship. He's now expressing contrition and saying they will reform. Cracks starting to appear. https://t.co/xt96KmEMmE

In early 1978 Iran (population 35 million) produced 6m barrels/day. Striking oil workers brought it down to 1.5 m bpd, which collapsed the government.

Today's Iran (population 83 million) produces 2.5m bpd. They can't afford a large/sustained oil strike https://t.co/joOPxBPrWT

My interview with #Nika_Shakarami's mother:

"Like Nika, I have been against compulsory hijab since I was a child. But my generation was not brave enough to protest," Mrs Shakarami told me.

On the same day regime's judiciary chief claims he is open to "dialogue" his court charged musician Shervin Hajipour with "propagating against the system" and "inciting violent acts" and banned him from leaving country for publishing the song, "Baraye" https://t.co/5XZNzLC5Pe

This video speaks volumes. Both secular and religious people are now united to say no to the Islamic Republic of Iran. 43 years of religious tyranny has alienated so many Iranians from religion. The courage of these women is awe inspiring#MahsaAmini

Unnamed group inside Iran published charter of “women, life, freedom” movement.

1- Our goal is to establish the "Republic of Iran". The secular state does not interfere in any kind of religiosity (including beliefs and rituals); foreign policy based on national interest.

Infuriating: One day after competing without headscarf at Asian Climbing Competition, #Iran’s Elnaz Rekabi has gone missing, phone confiscated, @IranWireEnglish reports that she is being flown to Evin prison. Cruel doesn’t even begin to describe it: pic.twitter.com/HMkxh4n2lN
— Joyce Karam (@Joyce_Karam) October 18, 2022

If reports are true and Rekabi continues to be missing or taken to prison, this is clear signal from #Iran regime one month after killing of Mahsa Amini that there is no room for change and that its only answer to dissent is cruelty. It punishes its best...
