https://kolektiva.media/w/7xcu6BqCJd57YmFdXezm5zThe flames of uprising are once again burning in
Iran. Yet, it seems different this time. A revolution is afoot, a feminist revolution.
The first sparks of the revolution started in Saghez of Kurdistan, the home town of
Mahsa Amini.
Mahsa Amini was a 22-year-old Kurdish girl who was beaten to death by the police for “improper Hijab.” Mahsa was better lnown as Zhina among friends and family. In the Kurdish language, Zhina means life. The Islamic Republic of
Iran snuffed out her life and countless others as sacrifices to the altars of Patriarchy, Religion, Racism, & Capitalism.
The original sparks of revolt started by the chants "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi," "Woman, Life, Freedom" are now a evolution spreading to all 31 provinces and hundreds of cities. Even the ideological strongholds of the regime, Qom and Mashhad, are revolting. For the first time, the police are the direct target of people's ire. The Police have been driven back, beaten, and killed. Police cars flipped, burned, and destroyed. Police stations taken over and set aflame. People are no longer scared of them.
The revolution is bearing fruits. Oshnavieh is the first city liberated and in full control of people on September 24th. We are but one step away from overthrowing the death cult that is Islamic Republic of
Iran. It has yet to be seen if we would take that final step. But, the people of
Iran have already proven that they shouldn't be underestimated.
