This topic needs to be trending. People need to know about this. Please listen. People are dying.
40 years ago, Iran became an Islamic Republic. The country was taken by an oppressive regime, placing people under more strain every passing year.
It is illegal for women not to dress by their codes. Children are taught blatant propaganda. The economy falls further each day. The government started selling the water inside the country and the Caspian Sea, and deforested the country's own forests.
Learning English is banned in school.
People are prosecuted and tortured for speaking out against the government. Thousands of journalists are sentenced.
There is an environmental, social, and economic catastrophy.
A few days ago, in an already broken economy, the prices for fuel were then raised to a point where no one but the elite can afford to operate a vehicle. This was the last straw. Millions of people have flooded the streets in protest of the regime. This is still happening. In response:
the military and police began shooting protestors with machine guns. 600+ are said to be dead. 3000+ have been prosecuted. Many are held, some have been released after being forced to "confess" falsely that their children are criminals.
The internet shut down. Usage of the internet in Iran already depended on VPNs and proxies, since the government censors everything. But now, there is a complete communications shut down. There is no access to the internet. VPNs can't get past this. Almost all landlines are blocked from international calls.
Information is shared through direct reports to news channels by traditional radio, the few people who have access to twitter, and a loophole people found in Skype, which allows them to communicate for a few minutes overseas.
I have not been able to contact my family. The Iranian government is trying to keep this contained. They are succeeding.
THIS IS STILL LIMITED. SOURCE ARE LIMITED.
There is not a single word of this on western media.
People are dying. Young people are dying in the streets.
Please help. Please tell others, please tell everyone what is happening. This is a country with a population of 83 million people, suffering. Please listen.
