If you are Iranian
Then you know that more than 40,000 of your compatriots have been murdered by the occupying regime of the Islamic Republic
If this issue doesn't hurt your heart
If you are still thinking about your own interests for a few dollars
And these days you post something other than the suffering and sorrow of your country
Be aware that you will not have a place on my friends list.
Keep your head in the snow
A teenage boy in Iran survived something that shouldn’t exist in any country in the 21st century,
He was injured during the crackdown on protests,
Not arrested,
Not treated,
Not protected,
Instead, he learned the rule of survival in a system built on fear:
If they know you’re alive, they might finish the job,
So he did the unthinkable.
He hid among the dead inside a body bag,
and stayed motionless for three days,
just to avoid a final bullet,
Not because he wanted to disappear,
but because in Iran, during these crackdowns,
even the wounded can be treated as enemies,
Even breathing can be seen as defiance
This is what the world needs to understand:
This isn’t just “riot control.”
This isn’t just “arrests.”
This is a machinery of terror where people are not only silenced,
they are erased,
When a teenager has to pretend to be a corpse
to protect his right to live,
it tells you everything about how protests are crushed in Iran:
With bullets.
With fear.
With forced silence.
And with a message to everyone watching:
Don’t just stop protesting stop existing
But he didn’t
He survived
And his survival is a witness statement
A living proof that what happens in Iran is not a political dispute
it is a human catastrophe.
You stood inside the mouth of death for three days,
without a sword
only your breath
You hid in a dark Body Bag,
not because you feared dying
but because you feared the final bullet
the one meant to erase even the wounded
the one that turns survival into a crime
You made yourself silent
so life wouldn’t be silenced
And now
anyone who speaks of courage
should say your name first:
the one who returned from death
to remind us
sometimes resistance
is simply…
staying alive.
Tens of thousands of my people
are no longer among us
We were cut off from the world for 14 days
and they were cut off
forever.
In just 4 days
a century’s cruelty
happened four times over
A massacre that will be written down
not only in history
but in our bones
A people
slaughtered by the hand
that claimed to lead them
Grief understands grief
Only the wounded
recognize the wound
I found this interesting
I published only 3 posts on Base last week, and I received $5
It’s surprising when I see people posting many times every day on Base, with high engagement, yet earning around the same amount
How many posts did you publish this week, and how much did you earn?
Don't forget to say:
Thank you base 💙
