I was signing on to social media daily, to find out what was happening in Iran. What began as a protest in solidarity with the death of Mahsa Amini had quickly morphed into a nationwide revolt. The Iranian people asked the world to refer to the uprising as a Revolution. Videos were uploaded of women being dragged on the ground by their hair, men being shot at for merely honking in their car during protests, unarmed students surrounded by armies of police, arrested, beaten and killed.

The world was silent.
