Iran's women say they are prepared for the long fight to ensure their personal freedoms.

I just hope that the extremists don't hijack the movement and push for armed uprising.

Something that would make the mad hardliners very happy.

Women are driving the largest anti-government protest movement Iran has seen in decades. They are risking their lives to demand basic freedoms.
...
In Iran, Sharia-based laws regulate how women can dress and behave. Fathers and husbands make many of the important decisions in a woman's life. There is also widespread and systemic gender discrimination.

In the 2022 World Economic Forum's (WEF) "Gender Gap Report

,>" the country ranks 143 out of 146 in an international comparison of gender equality indicators.

More than anything, the lack of women's political participation plays an important role in Iran's poor ranking. Germany, for example, moved up one spot to 10 in the latest report because of the growing participation of women in politics.

A New Iran Has Been Born — A Global Iran

An interview with the scholar Asef Bayat widely shared by Iranians — and now banned by the Tehran authorities — is published by New Lines in English translation for the first time

The following interview with Asef Bayat was published in Persian on Oct. 10 by the Tehran daily Etemaad. Shortly after its publication, the Iranian authorities ordered the newspaper to take the interview down from its website. The interview had already gone viral in Iran and abroad, and several other outlets that had reposted it were likewise forced to unpublish it. We do not know what reasons, if any, the authorities gave for the ban; perhaps it was due to the analysis provided by Bayat, a well-respected scholar of social movements and revolutions influential within Iran’s intellectual and political circles. Multiple websites inside Iran currently continue to carry the interview. The ban was first reported by the online Radio Farda. Over the following days, the interview was shared in tens of thousands of social media posts among Iranians worldwide. It is published here in English translation for the first time.

Clashes as thousands gather for Mahsa Amini memorial in Iran

Large crowds converge at cemetery in Amini’s hometown of Saqqez to mark 40 days since her death.

Geoff Golberg takes a closer look into a college professor/Harvard law grad driving online attacks on Iranian-American women journalists and the likely role of twitter bots in amplifying the aggression.

Shahrooz, one of the more active non-sockpuppet accounts that similarly has targeted Fassihi (alleging both are part of the Iran Lobby), opts to hide behind thousands of fake Twitter Followers, which not only inflate his Followers count, but also function to artificially amplify the content of his tweets:

Among Shahrooz’s 21.1K Followers, Social Forensics has identified:

• 436 accounts that have, on average since being created, tweeted 100 or more times per day -1,024 accounts that have, on average since being created, liked 100 or more tweets per day
• 344 accounts that have, on average since being created, tweeted 100 or more times per day AND liked 100 or more tweets per day

Of the 344 accounts referenced above, 290 of them were created in Sep or Oct 2022 (view accounts here).

These accounts all amplify the same accounts and hashtags, indicative of a script/automation being used to mislead others (gaming hashtags to trend, for example) and disrupting the experience for Twitter users that Shahrooz opts to tag in his tweets (i.e. brigading the tagged users via bombarding their Twitter notifications).

Another popular BD post by fake ID and bots on Twitter.

The swedish text doesn't say anything about sending the Iranian ambassador back, but the farsi "translation of the tweet that is being copied and shared by 100s of accounts wrongfully say that.

It's truly upsetting and infuriating to see these assholes hijack the social media with their half truth and pure lies.

Who is behind these accounts? Who financed them?

This tweet has been massively shared by many accounts on Twitter, including 1000s of bots and fake accounts.

There has been no mention of "strip search" in any of the videos and telegram posts about the insident and the video shared by Radio Farda (voice CIA in Persian) that this tweet refer to hasn't said any such thing either.

It's truly upsetting to see these fake stories spread like wildfire and people sharing it without any hesitation or critical thinking.

Shopkeepers and factory workers went on strike in Iran on Saturday as women-led nationwide protests sparked by the death in custody of Mahsa Amini entered a sixth week, activists said.

Iran protests turning into a full blown uprising.

With regime not backing and opposition lacking leadership, not sure where this will lead to.
