A report from December–January 2025 (Dey 1404) , Tehran — days of tension, anxiety, and disbelief – The following text is a report by a comrade who has recently left Iran. It is based on their direct observations in a (limited) number of neighborhoods in Tehran through Friday, January 9th. The text is written at a time when images and reports of the government’s widespread and horrific killings, both in other parts of Tehran and in other cities, had not yet been released.

“Jin-Jîyan-Azadî,” was chanted again and again during Jina’s burial ceremony in her hometown Saqqez, in Sanandaj the next day, and almost immediately, it spread across other streets of Iran as the main slogan.
