putting up a hook to hang my hopes upon
The UN Human Rights Council has been holding a special session on "the deteriorating situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran."

The IR's representative spoke some about the IR being "fully committed to its obligation to promote and protect human rights," deflection and whataboutery, playing down the murders and assaults on Iranians, blaming other states, as well as twitter, instagram and WhatsApp.
She said the IR has "achieved greatly in empowering women and girls, as well as in promoting and protecting their roles and rights in social and public life, in the past four decades [...] equal opportunities for women have been provided in all areas of personal and public life."

so defeated, thinks it's funny
Following on from the previous demo by Iranian/Kurdish feminists and socialists that had been disrupted by monarchists (see here for context), there was another protest organised by the same group today, and there'd been a call for local trade unionists to come down and protect the event. I'd sort of agreed to go because I didn't think I had anything else on that day, without really thinking through what I might potentially be getting into, but in the end the pro-Shah lot didn't turn up so the demo was able to go ahead without disturbance, will try to remember to post pictures/videos in a bit.
