DESCRIPTION:Revolution Books and the International Emergency Campaign to Free Iran's 
 Political Prisoners Now Present: \nAn Evening of Poetry for the Mahsa Jina 
 Amini Uprising & the Heroic Political Prisoners in Iran\n\nOn the 
 one-year anniversary of the murder of Mahsa (Jina) Amini that ignited the 
 joyous and fearless Jina Uprising, we will come together, from different 
 perspectives, to hold a night of fierce and internationalist words. Join 
 with us to honor and stand with the people of Iran, and step up the fight 
 to free Iran’s political prisoners NOW!\n\nThis poetry reading on the 
 anniversary of Mahsa Jina Amini's brutal murder by the “morality 
 police” in Iran, for “improperly” wearing the hijab, will be part of 
 worldwide commemorations. This coincides with the 70th anniversary of the 
 US-CIA-sponsored coup in Iran in 1953 that set in motion the context of 
 events up to today.\n\nAs the anniversary of the Woman-Life-Freedom 
 uprising approaches, it has become a focal point in the ongoing struggle, 
 especially against the oppression of women, and over the future of Iran and 
 the world. Inside Iran, sweeping, brutal attacks and arrests by the 
 theocratic government are increasing, with special venom toward the Jina 
 uprising protesters, writers, artists, and musicians. In the face of this 
 escalating repression, protest preparations are intensifying, with brave 
 initiatives by youth and others.\n\nWe invite everyone who cares deeply 
 about the interests of the people of Iran and the world to join this 
 gathering of poets, authors, musicians, and activists. We will share our 
 artistry and emotion in solidarity with the Women-Life-Freedom uprising and 
 to free the many political prisoners in Iran whose lives are in the 
 balance.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2023/09/04/18858738.php
