A nation stripped of freedom, dignity, and hope — by its own rulers.
There is no freedom of expression in Iran. No fair elections. No real journalism. Critics vanish. Protesters are shot. Artists are jailed.
The regime has silenced a nation, forcing obedience through fear.
Iranians face censorship, surveillance, moral policing, and arbitrary detention. Women are beaten for showing hair. Workers are arrested for striking. Students are expelled for speaking truth.
Even mourning the dead can be a crime.
This is not life. It’s managed survival — under a regime that feeds itself on despair.
The youth of Iran — brilliant, creative, resilient — are denied their place in the world. They are censored, exiled, or crushed.
But they are not defeated. Their silence is not surrender. It is the pause before the storm.
