Iranian authorities must immediately halt any plans to execute Fatemeh Aini, 31, who is held in Lakan prison, Rasht. A Revolutionary Court sentenced her to death following a grossly unfair trial for drug-related offences. @amnesty just learned that 3 days ago Fatemeh Aini 1/3

Iran’s authorities executed at least 34 people in connection to the Jan 2026 uprising after unfair trials. At least 20 others are at imminent risk of protest-related executions after the Supreme Court upheld their death sentences. Many more remain at risk. amnesty.org/en/documents/mde…

Today the Islamic Republic executed another one of Iran’s brave sons. Ali-Sina Mostafavi was a mountaineer and a musician. The Islamic Republic took his life.
Ali-Sina Mostafavi climbed Everest and played the tar. On October 14, 2026, Mizan, the Islamic Republic’s judiciary news agency, announced his execution in Kerman. Published reports indicate that he was beaten during his arrest and subjected to forced confessions.
Remembering his life—and the future taken from him.

تحریف تاریخ: انقلاب اسلامی یک استبداد سلطنتی را سرنگون کرد!
واقعیت: انقلاب اسلامی یک دموکراسی تازه احیاشده را سرنگون کرد.
در بخش نخست این کتاب، پرده از دروغ‌ها و مغالطه های تبلیغاتی رژیمی که آیت‌الله خمینی بنیان نهاد برمی‌دارم. مرور تاریخچه انقلاب مشروطه و قانون اساسی آن در سال ۱۲۸۵ و سرگذشت دو چهره کلیدی تاریخ سیاسی ایران، شاپور بختیار و روح‌الله خمینی، نشان می‌دهد که انقلاب اسلامی، ایدئولوژی و هدف رهبری آن، از همان آغاز، یک ضدانقلاب علیه دموکراسی بوده.بدون شناخت این تاریخ، درک مسیری که جامعه ایران در پیش گرفته و شناخت ماهیت مقاومت آن در برابر رژیم اسلامی دشوار خواهد بود.#ایران_دموکراسی_فراموش‌شده، در کتاب‌فروشی‌های فرانسه، سوئیس و بلژیک در دسترس است.

Disinfo accounts keep claiming that the Iranian regime didn't massacre protesters in Jan 2026.
But some protesters are slowly making it out of Iran & are sharing what actually happened, like this protester who still has 100+ metal pellets in his body.

Yet another reminder of the brutality of the Islamic Regime in Iran
Four years ago today, security forces in Iran unlawfully killed 87 protesters and bystanders from the persecuted Baluchi ethnic minority in Zahedan in what became known as “Bloody Friday” during the 2022 Woman Life Freedom uprising. amnesty.org/en/documents/mde… 1/2

HAW Daily Brief 1/3 Wrongfully Detained Iranian American Journalist Remains Jailed in Iran after 2 Years

The Trump administration has been engaged on Reza Valizadeh’s case now since all the way back to March of last year, when he was officially found by Secretary Rubio to be wrongfully detained. That puts this machinery within the hostage enterprise into motion. What I want for Reza and what Reza wants for himself is for the administration to prioritize it in the discussions with Iran. We shouldn't wait until the whole war is resolved and all our differences put aside. This should be the very first thing that's mentioned in the course of every engagement between the two sides, because it's the easiest to accomplish. @freerezav @FayheeRyan

Mahboubeh Shabani, a prisoner sentenced to death at Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad, was forcibly transferred from Aramesh Ward to solitary confinement on Monday, September 28, 2026. HRANA reported the transfer.
That day, Sepideh Gholian, an activist and former political prisoner, wrote in a post on X that prison guards had told Shabani: “Because Trump has supported you, we will execute you.” Gholian also reported that the phones in Aramesh Ward had been confiscated. She described the prisoners as living in intense fear and anxiety and said the measure might extend to other security wards.
In a voice message released from prison before her transfer to solitary confinement, Shabani said that her death sentence had been communicated to her lawyer. She warned of the danger facing political prisoners sentenced to death and appealed to the public and human rights organizations for help.
Shabani, a 30-year-old civil engineer, was arrested in Mashhad on February 2, 2026. Reports have linked her case to transporting injured protesters to hospital on her personal motorcycle during the January protests. After spending a prolonged period in solitary confinement, she was transferred to the women’s ward. Branch One of the Mashhad Revolutionary Court, presided over by Gholamreza Akbari Moghadam, sentenced her to death on the charge of “operational action to strengthen Israel, the United States, and affiliated opposition groups.”

Aren’t 25 years enough?
Be Dawit Isaak’s voice & urge the EU & Sweden to take action. You just have to hit send: raoulwallenbergcentre.org/en…
For Dawit, words were not enough to bring him home.
What is missing is the political will to achieve results. Results that will see Dawit embrace his children, who have since become adults.
Neither Sweden nor the EU has taken the action needed to bring this man home.
Urge the EU & Sweden to take action now.

مجازی شدن کلاس‌ها در حداقل ۲۵ دانشگاه سراسری؛ اعتراض دانشجویان به بلاتکلیفی و سرگردانی
بر اساس گزارش‌های رسیده به #خبرنامه_امیرکبیر، مدیریت دست‌کم ۲۵ دانشگاه سراسری، تنها چند روز پیش از آغاز سال تحصیلی، کلاس‌های تمام یا بخشی از مقاطع تحصیلی را به‌صورت ناگهانی مجازی اعلام کرده است. این تصمیم‌ها که برای دوره‌های یک یا چند هفته‌ای اعلام شده‌اند، با اعتراض دانشجویان به بلاتکلیفی آموزشی و اختلال در دسترسی به خدمات رفاهی همراه بوده‌اند.
بنا بر این گزارش‌ها، بسیاری از دانشجویان پیش از انتشار اطلاعیه‌های دانشگاه‌ها، از شهرهای محل سکونت خود به محل تحصیل سفر کرده‌اند. اعلام دیرهنگام تغییر شیوه برگزاری کلاس‌ها، آنان را ناگزیر کرده است میان ماندن در محل تحصیل، بدون دسترسی به خدمات تغذیه و دیگر امکانات دانشگاه، و بازگشت به شهر خود و تکرار این مسیر پس از ازسرگیری آموزش حضوری، یکی را انتخاب کنند.
در این میان، دانشجویانی که برای انجام پایان‌نامه و فعالیت‌های پژوهشی به کتابخانه و آزمایشگاه نیاز دارند، با مشکلات بیشتری مواجه شده‌اند. بر اساس اطلاعات دریافتی، این دانشجویان ناچار به حضور در دانشگاه‌هایی هستند که خدمات تغذیه و در برخی موارد، خوابگاه در اختیار آنان قرار نمی‌دهند.
طبق گزارش‌های رسیده به خبرنامه امیرکبیر، با وجود اعلام بازه‌های موقت برای برگزاری مجازی کلاس‌ها، زمان قطعی ازسرگیری آموزش حضوری در دانشگاه‌های مورد گزارش مشخص نشده است؛ وضعیتی که برنامه‌ریزی برای حضور در کلاس‌ها، اسکان و ادامه فعالیت‌های پژوهشی را با ابهام روبه‌رو کرده است.
اعلام ناگهانی این تصمیم‌ها، اعتراض دانشجویان و تشکل‌های دانشجویی را در پی داشته است. در دانشگاه هنر، دانشگاه ولی‌عصر رفسنجان، دانشگاه بین‌المللی قزوین و دانشگاه صنعتی شاهرود، دانشجویان و تشکل‌های دانشجویی با انتشار بیانیه یا امضای نامه، به روند مجازی شدن کلاس‌ها اعتراض کرده‌اند.
همچنین در برخی دانشگاه‌ها، دانشجویان اعلام کرده‌اند که از تصمیم تعطیلی ناگهانی دانشگاه تبعیت نخواهند کرد و با حضور در دانشگاه، خواستار برخورداری از حق آموزش حضوری خواهند شد.

Victims of crimes against humanity in Iran are demanding justice.
Call on the UN General Assembly to create an international criminal justice mechanism in Iran. It is time to end the normalization of repeated mass protest killings in Iran.

Day 3,797 of injustice for Ahmadreza Djalali and his family. He has been wrongfully imprisoned in Iran for over a decade. We need urgent, concrete diplomatic action now from the Swedish government to bring this Swedish citizen home. #SaveAhmadreza @SwedishPM @MariaStenergard

Impunity for crimes against humanity committed by Iranian authorities to crush the 2022 Woman Life Freedom uprising emboldened the authorities to commit further atrocities, culminating in January 2026 protest massacres of thousands.
The cost of global inaction on international criminal justice has been devastating. People in Iran remain at high risk of recurring and escalating mass protest killings.
Sign the petition to call on UN General Assembly to create an international criminal justice mechanism for crimes against humanity in Iran.
