But this wall of fear was shattered by the Iranian people’s courageous defiance. From the powerful emptiness of general strikes in Kurdistan to defiant chants of “Death to the dictator” echoing from Tehran’s rooftops, the nation proved that the flame of the 2022 uprising is not a memory, but a living force.

Defiant Candlelight Vigil: Iranian-Americans Honor Victims and Demand Justice Outside the UN
