A brave Iranian Freedom Fighter ignited a #IRGCTerrorists poster ablaze in #iran. These forms of civil disobedience never get old to me. #iranrevolution
In this video we see an Iranian freedom fighter set a Islamic Republic propaganda poster on fire in protest against the regime. https://persia.social/@kambiz/109801198869875774
This man is not an Auschwitz prisoner. He is imprisoned in the Islamic Republic. His name is Farhad Meysami, an Iranian political prisoner. He began a hunger strike in October, 2022 against the execution of political prisoners & for opposing the compulsory hijab in Iran.

@TheOldGuy It was not unusual for old cathedrals to have tunnels connecting with the nuns' housing or nunnery. This was so they could visit the cathedral without having any contact with the public.
Some orders required zero contact with outsiders, not even visual contact.
I'm not saying that's definitely the case here but I'll bet it is.

I reluctantly agreed to this interview because a friend really wanted to do it. She is on weather so this is like extra credit. As you can see, I almost melted down and nobody was asking hard questions.

Ukraine's goal is to be prepared for pre-accession negotiations by the end of 2023 and to be ready for EU membership by the end of 2024 - Shmyhal. To achieve this, Ukraine has completed a number of requirements, such as the creation of an anti-corruption infrastructure, the adoption of laws on media and national minorities, the implementation of legislation on the Constitutional Court, the establishment of the High Council of Justice, and the fulfillment of FATF requirements on the transparency of funds.
