"I've said it many times: I disagree with those who tell protesters never to defend themselves — no matter what happens."
A direct, unflinching take on the right to self-defense in protests 👇
From the moment of arrest, there are countless points where a protester's life can end:
▪️ Beaten to death at the moment of detention
▪️ Killed inside the transport van
▪️ Tortured during interrogation at police or Basij stations
▪️ Unlawful sentences, prison, even execution
▪️ "Suspicious" deaths behind bars
That's one side of the equation.
The other side: you're standing in the street and a state agent charges at you. If you trip him and run — reason, faith, and conscience all say you should.
Protecting your own life is not violence. It's a right.
