Britain Don Put Sanctions for Iran Violence, Eish!

My people, better gather here make we gist about serious wahala wey dey happen for Iran. Britain don just slap new sanctions on some Iranian officials, dem no go hear word at all. Na so dem dey target those wey dem say dey responsible for violent attack on peaceful protesters.

The British Foreign Office been talk say dem sanction ten individuals plus one big security body dem call Law Enforcement Forces of the Islamic Republic. Dem say these people dey commit serious human rights violations, wey involve killings of protesters, torture, sexual violence, and plenty restriction on freedom of speech and assembly.

Among the people wey dey face the fire be Eskandar Momeni, wey dey oversee security matter for Iran, plus some other police chiefs and military big men. Na serious matter o! Yvette Cooper, wey be the British Foreign Secretary, talk say Iranian people don show serious bravery amid all the brutality wey dey happen around dem.

She say people don suffer great violence just because dem wan exercise dem right to protest peacefully. All these sanctions wey Britain don put ehn, no be dem alone. E follow wetin EU and US don already do, as dem dey try hold Iranian authorities accountable for dem actions.

Last week, EU don even classify the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as terrorist organization, and wahala don start from there, as Tehran no go keep quiet. Dem dey dismiss all dis sanctions as wahala from Westerners wey dey try control dem. Na so dem dey do. Last Sunday, dem parliament speaker talk say dem fit soon classify the armies of EU countries as terrorist groups. Na serious gbege wey dey talk.

As we dey follow this matter, some reports come show say diplomatic talk between Iran and US fit resume soon, but tension still dey high as US don increase naval presence for the region after last month protest crackdown wey cause plenty deaths.

Now make I take you enter another level of this whole gist. One document wey come from Iranian media linked to the IRGC dey try change the narrative around the protests. Dem dey paint Pahlavi, wey some people don begin see as alternative leader, as just a Western media game. E be like say dem wan shift attention from the real issue – the people’s frustration with the Islamic Republic.

Dem dey try scatter any connection wey fit link the protesters to Pahlavi, saying no be him call make people protest, and that many dey vex over the system wey dey run things more than supporting him. Dem dey push this agenda to keep the people frustrated, but not allow any real leadership emerge as dem dey cover up with narratives wey go paint anybody wey oppose dem as puppets.

But no be only talk dem dey do o! Reports come show say detainees for prisons dey suffer serious human rights abuses. Activists don come out dey talk say many wounded protesters dey denied medical care, some dey receive injection wey dem no even sabi wetin be, and some don even die for custody.

Na wah o! One teenage girl even fall into coma after dem inject am with something for inside detention. This kind thing dey show say they fit dey carry out executions for prisons, hidden from the public eyes, as people dey gather evidence about the abuses.

Eyewitnesses dey talk say some medical staff, dem no fit do anything because of fear from security forces. Hospitals dey lockdown and many families dey run away from dem, hoping say if dem keep dem dead bodies for house, go fit be better than making dem report to officials.

E no be small drama, as them don begin unmask the wickedness wey dey happen. Witnesses talk say those wey don manage to survive inside na fear wey don dey grip dem, as they fear say hospital go become another place of violence. Na serious matter o, the world eye dey watch am.

So as we dey enjoy our beer for this corner, make we no forget say many people dey fight for dem lives for inside Iran, waiting for change wey fit bring dem peace and justice. Wetin dem dey face no clear, but some way dem go stand up for wetin right and for the lives of the people wey don die.
