In writing this thread for our paper supporting human rights in Iran, I almost added “looking at you USA 👀” but thought it didn’t need to be said. Apparently it did. #Mahsa_Amini #zanzendegiazadi.
The 🌎should not empower a gov’t that executes innocent people. Iran's #IRGC kills people on the streets with live ammo and chemical attacks and through sham trials. Maximum pressure against the regime is needed to underscore that state-sanctioned murder is unacceptable. 2/8.
