These two journalists who covered Mahsa Amini’s murder are facing a sham trial merely for their accurate reporting. All the while, the perpetrators of Amini’s murder remain free.
The trials of Niloofar Hamedi and Elaheh Mohammadi, who broke the story of the assault on Amini, demonstrates the absurdity of the Islamic Republic's so-called justice system.
The silence of Western governments only begets more violence by the Iranian regime against its own people. While a new generation is finding its voice, injustice stalks the young people of Iran. Diplomacy with a government that is at war with its own people will never be sustainable.
There should be further diplomatic and economic isolation of Tehran. The U.S. and its allies should stop offering a lifeline to the Islamic Republic and give voice to brave reporters like Niloofar and Elaheh.

In 1988, during the late hours of the night, a Hawaiian musician named Israel Kamakawiwo'ole reached out to a local studio, urgently requesting a recording session. Eagerly, he implored the engineer, expressing his desire to bring his idea to life. In a remarkable display of talent and spontaneity, Kamakawiwo'ole recorded a rendition of the beloved song "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" in a single take. This rendition would soon resonate deeply with listeners worldwide, touching the hearts of countless individuals.
The recording itself featured Kamakawiwo'ole's voice accompanied solely by his ukulele, creating a mesmerizing and unforgettable experience for anyone who encountered it. Despite the artist's untimely passing in 1997 at the age of 38, his music and his remarkable but brief life have continued to profoundly impact people from all corners of the globe.

The supreme leader of the Islamic Republic has attempted to cow Iranian women into submission and force them to cover their hair and obey the mandatory hijab laws or face brutal punishment. Iranian women have responded by not only letting their hair blow freely in the wind, but also by dressing the way they want. #MahsaAmini
