     The Iran-regime's repression forces were shooting teargas, shotguns and kalashnikovs at the people in Bukan of Rojhelat/NW Iran, maybe about an hour ago to stop them from celebrating the new year,
     but now here they are anyway... lighting the fire of antiauthoritarian Newroz.

     A New Years statement from the Free Trade Union of Iran release just now, rough abbreviated translation:
     ─────────
     Nowruz is the bringer of freedom

     Nowruz arrived for 1402 with the call of freedom.
     The streets were filled with the slogan of freedom, "women, life, freedom" and death to the dictator.

     This year, both nature and society are working together to transform winter and darkness into spring and light.

     We came through 1401. A year full of sadness, filled with the pain of losing the dearest lives. But at the same time, a year full of hope for transformation, a year of the greatest determination and collective will of humanity, which promise spring and prosperity.

     The New Year celebrations are a continuation of the revolution and this revolution represents the deepest transformation for the entire human society.
     A revolution that clearly shows it is time for us the people to put an end to elite rule over society and all tyranny, exploitation and subjugation, and start on a new plan.

     The Free Trade Union of Iran congratulates all freedom-loving and egalitarian people on the arrival of Nowruz.

     On Nowruz, we will be with the families of the loved ones who died in our revolution and we will turn the coming year into a year of fulfilling their dreams.

     Free Trade Union of Iran
     ─────────

     "Long live the guerrilla resistance!",
     on of the slogans as the locals celebrate New Years, Newroz, tonight in the Qandil/Qendîl Mountains in Başûr (southern) Kurdistan/northern Iraq, where the guerrillas YJA Star and HPG of the antiauthoritarian feminist political party for peaceful coexistence and ecology, PKK, defend the people against the war of aggression by NATO's imperialist dictator Erdoğan.

     More from the antiauthoritarian Newroz (New Years) celebrations tonight in Sine/Saneh/Sanandaj of Rojhelat/NW Iran.
     You know those slogan by now... ;-)

     "Kurdistan is a cemetery for Fascists!", "Women! Life! Freedom!", "Death to the tyrant, whether Shah or [Theocratic] Leader!" and other similar antiauthoritarian feminist slogans ring out for Newroz tonight over Saneh/Sine/Sanandaj in Rojhelat/NW Iran,
     in spite of many months of worst repression by the Iran-regime, probably among the cities 3 worst afflicted by acts the UN today said "may amount to crimes against humanity".

     A village united in demand for "Freedom! Freedom! Freeeedom!", antiauthoritarian feminist slogan in "Women! Life! Freedom!" as well as "Death to the tyrant, whether Shah or [Theocratic] Leader!",
     today for the New Year, Newroz.
     Ewêheng/Avihang, Rojhelat/W Iran, has just under 2k residents.

     Do you see now why I like these celebrations?

     Lovely celebration of Newroz in the little village Kani Rash, Rojhelat/NW Iran, between Lake Urmia and the border claimed by Turkey.

     At least several tens of people were imprisoned after the previous Newroz-celebrations because people danced without regime-imposed gender segregation and women had uncovered hair.

     Another lovely "fuck you to dictatorship and sexism" for New Years, Newroz, now in the village Kûran, Rojhelat/NW Iran, just a bit north of the one in the previous toot.
     It has ~1k residents so about double the size of the village in the previous toot.
     :-)))

     Newroz now in Urmia/Orumieh of Rojhelat/NW Iran.

     The regime's "security" force has been individually threatening at least hundreds of people to not participate in these antiauthoritarian New Years celebrations, under threat of imprisonment (or worse), reported the Hengaw Human Rights Org a few days ago already.

     It... doesn't seem like it worked.

     At the antiauthoritarian New Years, Newroz, celebration today in the villages Chorr/Chur and Nene/Naneh near the town Merîwan/Marivan in Rojhelat (eastern) Kurdistan/W Iran.

     Being ignored like that would make the brutally sexist Iran-regime very, very angry. ;-)

     Some scenes from one of the antiauthoritarian feminist guerrillas YRK and HPJ (whose slogan "Women! Life! Freedom!" has spread from them to be the main slogan of the ongoing antiauthoritarian feminist uprisings against the regime throughout all of Iran) celebrations in Rojhelat (Iran-held part of Kurdistan) for the ongoing antiauthoritarian New Years, Newroz.

     I cut out >10 minutes of speeches and interviews, declaring this the year of struggle and liberation, victory for the spirit of "Women! Life! Freedom!", etc.
