I feel for these individuals who are suffering but let’s be clear.

This attempt at overthrowing the regime in Iran with the help of the western media is probably not going to work. This is not the first time that it’s been attempted. If you’re willing to stand against your own government then you’re definitely brave but you will likely deal with the consequences no matter where you’re from. And that’s not something anyone can help with.

I posted this a few months back and I was downvoted but I’ll say it again. It’s important that we all remain neutral and promote non-interventalisim on this platform. One life harmed or lost is not worth it!

We can't light the spark for them, but we can help fan the flames.
The last thing we should be doing is fanning flames in matters of life and death. Especially from the couch.
Absolutely. Please, enough suffering. I can’t imagine what the families of prisoners must be going through right now. It’s a nightmare. I really hope Jadi is freed soon.
