The language student Ahou Daryaei was denied entering Tehran's prestigious Islamic Azad University and her clothes were ripped off by the security at checkpoint; she bravely stripped down to her underclothing in protest against Iranian Mullahs' hijab laws in front of predator hijab guard wolves.

The October 1st highlighted as "World Kobani Day" we bow down to all freedom fighters who dedicated their lives to liberate Kobanê in Rojava. I especially remind and celebrate the life of the Kurdish singer, teacher and resistance-fighter Viyan Peyman with my piece "Viyan". Peyman lost her life in Kobani in 2015.
Di Roja Cîhanî ya Kobanê de, ji bo bîranîna şervana Kurd Vîyan Peyman ku canê xwe a li Kobanê
feda kir, berhema VÎYAN pêşkêşî we dikim. Bijî berxwedana Kobanê✌🏾🔥
لە رۆژی جیھانی کۆبانێ، بۆ ڕێزلێنان و یاد و بیرەوەری شەرڤانی کورد «ڤیان پەیمان» کە گیانی خۆی لە کۆبانێ بەخت کرد بەرهەمی «ڤیان» پێشکەش دەکەم.✌🏾

Today, September 15th, is the 2nd commemoration of the Jina Revolution, which was sparked by the murder of a Kurdish civilian, Jina Amini, in the bloody hands of the so-called morality police of Mullahs' regime in Iran. The Jin Jiyan Azadi movement has unequivocally transformed women's voices forever.
Salute to all women and men in Kurdistan and Iran who bravely stand up against the petrified Islamic law which forces women to cover their bodies in a way Sharia suggests. ✌🏾
👉🏾 Jina's portrait is illustrated by the legendary Italian visual artist and activist "Gianluca Costantini" .

This long weekend, I had an opportunity to start my Ottawa visit by joining Ottawa Kurdish Cultural Forum to open an important discussion on the critical situation of Kurdish music I called it a “cultural invasion” of Kurdish music which is the consequence of the unconditional power of the centralism and nationalism culture purposefully assimilate the ancient music of the Kurds in Iran and Turkey.
👉🏾 The geographical borders of the region altered after World ward I and a vast Kurdish area spread among four countries Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran. This was the beginning of the assimilation of culture and music in Kurdistan despite several genocides that took place against Kurds until now.
👉🏾 I was also able to highlight the dishonourable role of many well-known Kurdish artists who ill-advisedly consciously smoothed the processing.
I believe that we need more serious debates to understand why the music in marginalized cultures is so weak and not well-presented, and why the art music genre hasn’t been established there properly.
Many thanks to those who attended this event in past Sunday. I appreciate your support.💚🌺

"God Is Real", the latest cover image of the Charlie Hebdo magazine, is the best artistic expression in supporting the brave anti Mullahs' regime resisters in Iran after death of "the Butcher of Tehran in the helicopter crash". ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾
