“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.”
— John F Kennedy
Middle-eastern nation, Iran, is governed by the brutal Islamic Republic, led by the dictatorial Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei, and its people have been subjected to oppression for over 44 years. The mullah’s prejudiced and power-hungry interpretations of sharia law harm Iranians. Everyday police rape, wrongly convict, and execute innocent Persians. Corrupt officials and officers also torture Persians. The real perpetrators and those responsible for the murder of our citizens are the so-called police, also known as the Farmândehiye Entezâmiye Jomhuriye Eslâmiye Irân.
After the revolt and toppling of the new Phalivi Shahan Shah Mohammad Reza, this government of terror took ahold of the entire nation and its political climate. This gave Khomeini complete control, on which he built his homicidal government. By outlawing the rights of women, homosexual people, people of colour, and atheists, they achieved a homogenous state.
The killing of martyr Mahsa Gina Amini by the Gast-e Esrd, also known as the morality police, was the last straw that later ensued Iranian revolt. She died tragically after being beaten and sexually assaulted. She was not given a proper funeral or tomb as the Islamic Republic stole her body. The government stated that she was arrested for not wearing her hijab or headscarf correctly, as it showed her hair.
This is when people from around the world protested in the streets chanting Zan, Zendgi, Azadi and Mard, Mihan, Abadi (meaning women), life, freedom and man, country, and prosperity. People from around the world support Iranians who undergo the abuse and fear of our homeland.
Iranians simply wanted the same freedom that is a right to citizens of other countries around the world. Consequently, the Islamic Republic responded to this by killing those who dared speak out, effectively silencing them from the world. Many innocent men, women, and children have given up their lives for this honorable cause.
The war for freedom is not being waged against Islam, as many people mistakenly believe, but rather against the mollahs, whose evil deeds have destroyed their nation and forced many people to escape a society that is rich in culture and history.
The foundation of Iranian culture was hidden along with writings from antiquity that were rife with poetry and compassionate monarchs.
Iran is one the oldest empires of the world and the first recorded civilization on this planet. Iranians under Cyrus The Great, a king and hero to our people were the first to make human rights for all no matter gender or race.
Iranians fight for a day freedom was a right we all shared but until that day,
We fight for women,
We fight for life,
We fight for freedom.
