Widespread protests throughout universities in Iran. Seeing a lot of staff on strike, too, demanding the safety of their students. Go to accounts like @1500tasvir_en, Hengaw Organization for Human Rights and Ali Javanmardi for more.

Sardasht this afternoon. Home to most of my paternal relatives. People here have been lowkey compared to other Kurdish cities, with the continuously high presence of IRGC agents in the city. But they say the youth is on it. Here you can see something brewing.

Mahabad, my maternal hometown, right after sunset today. They have been on the streets every night lately.

Op 31 oktober gaan we met collega beeldmakers, redacteuren het ANP in gesprek over stereotype beeldvorming. Dragen we bij aan stereotype beeldvorming? Zo ja, hoe gaan we dat oplossen? Praat mee!

#Bordercinema #borderstudies 📍 Shadow Game 🎥eefje blankevoort & Els van Driel 🗓️ 2021 The film is a journey through the dark side of Europe's #borders with teenage #refugees as our guides. Stories of hardship and exploitation, but also of endurance, warmth, and the human spirit.

The Kurdish city of Mariwan today. When IRGC comes knocking at your door, how are you going to answer. This is how they come and arrest protesters. Look at this army of men entering this woman’s house. Look at the miserable state of this regime. Same method for endless decades.

Luister deze doodenge geluiden uit Mahabad. Dit is waar mijn meeste familie woont.

First images coming in from the Kurdish city of Mahabad show troops combing through the streets searching for civilians to shoot. At this moment there’s no information out on casualties and wounded. But everything points at a new low, even to Islamic Republic of Iran’s standards.

Watch this endless stream of forces deployed into the city of Mahabad. My maternal hometown. A contact says they’re everywhere, armored vehicles, masked militias. The women witnessing and filming this are scared for the lives of our people, of our youth. This is a cry for help.

Beste collega-journalisten: verhalen over Iran liggen voor het oprapen in Noord-Irak en in Turkije. Bel je fixer op. Pak je koffers. Zelfs uit je luie stoel op de redactie zou je vaker over Iran kunnen berichten. Er is dagelijks een explosie aan beelden uit Iran. Wakker worden!

The announced three days of strikes have commenced. Across all of Iran reports are coming in from Shiraz, Tabriz, Karaj, Isfahan, Tehran and other places. In Kurdistan over twenty cities are participating. This is Kermashan.

They hung Mohsen Shekari in Tehran today. He was 23. It’s the fortieth day of Komar Daroftadeh in Piranshar. He was 16. I’ll never forget his father’s speech. And Hooman Abdullahi is buried in Sine (Sanandaj) today. He was 21. This is Sarina Sahed’s fortieth in Sine. She was 16.

🇮🇷 #Iran: Appalled by continued use of #DeathPenalty after news that a 2nd protester, #MajidrezaRahnavard, was executed just over 3 weeks after his arrest. We fear for the lives of other protesters sentenced to death. The use of death penalty is not consistent with right to life.

“De waarden van open kennisdeling zijn niet zo universeel als hier vanuit wordt gegaan." Dat vertelt wetenschapsjournalist en maker van de nieuwe podcast #VriendofVijand Saar Slegers in Argos. "Het is soms nodig dat je daar wat sceptischer naar kijkt."

Kennis delen, dan kom je verder: hét motto van Nederlandse universiteiten. Maar wat als wetenschappers of studenten alleen komen om kennis te halen of zelfs te stelen? Luister aflevering 1 van de podcast #VriendofVijand via de link of in je podcast-app. vpro.nl/argos/media/lu…
