In Iran we are being slaughtered. Step up before it is too late
Dear Reader,
I am writing to bring you some essential facts about what is happening in Iran today: facts that, unfortunately, many in the West still do not see or choose to ignore.
For over five days, all forms of internet access and communication have been completely blocked in Iran.
No social media, no international calls: total blackout.
This makes it extremely difficult to get reliable information out of the country.
Yet, what we know is already devastating:
- In just 48 hours, over 12,000 civilians have been confirmed killed.
The real number is almost certainly much higher, but due to the blackout, these are the only verifiable figures for now. - It is one of the highest numbers of civilian casualties per day since the end of the Holocaust.
- The families of the victims are asked for the equivalent of $5,000 to receive the bodies of their loved ones.
Without payment, the regime refuses to hand over the bodies for funerals.
To give an idea: the average monthly salary in Iran is less than 200 dollars.
This is no longer a protest.
It is genocide.
Millions of Iranians – inside and outside the country – are openly calling for military intervention against the regime.
This is not a violent demand, but a lucid realisation that without international action, this carnage will not end.
Many appeal to the UN R2P (Responsibility to Protect) principle, approved in 2005, which allows intervention when a state commits mass atrocities against its own people.
We demand that this principle be applied immediately.
It is important for us to let the world know that we Iranians want the US to strike the regime. Many Westerners think that it would be ‘an invasion’ of Iran and that it would be something bad for the people. But the truth is different: we have been asking the US for days to help us and to strike the regime militarily.
This demand is the cry of a desperate people, who see their people killed, tortured, silenced and abandoned.
Thank you again for your time, courage and willingness to give voice to this ongoing tragedy.
