Kiah Hananeh, 23 anni, tante altre ragazze coraggiose, esili corpi che si oppongono a un regime vergognoso, crudele, oppressivo.
Anche lei è stata uccisa dopo una manifestazione di protesta per la morte di Mahsa Amin. Mahsa, 22 anni, è stata massacrata, col capo spaccato ed emorragie cerebrali, perché aveva qualche capello fuori dal velo. Un delitto oltre che assurdo anche vigliacco. In realtà il suo nome era Jina, ma era un nome curdo, quindi cancellato dalle autorità.
Le proteste si espandono in Iran : già in 15 città, ma purtroppo le vittime sono una sessantina , tra cui quattro bambini, i feriti 800,
Donne e ragazzi coraggiosi, giovani che ammiro molto. Purtroppo tante vite spezzate.
Perché non se ne parla di più? Perché non si aiutano? Alle donne è impedito anche lo studio : se ignoranti, minacciate dalla violenza, sono meno 'pericolose', più sottomesse a ignobil non chiamerei neppure uomini.
Forse la loro vita non è così importante, non c'è di mezzo petrolio, gas, ferro,.. soldi.
Un pensiero col cuore, con molto dolore a queste donne coraggiose.
Sì, ci vuole molto coraggio a battersi per i propri diritti, dignità, e quelli delle altre, e morire.
The weight of courage
Another young woman killed in Iran, because of the protest against the killing of Masha Amin
Apprendo adesso che è stata uccisa a Teheran anche Hadis Najafi, 22 anni, simbolo della protesta contro il velo, raggiunta da 6 proiettili al petto, in viso e al collo.
An estimated 135 people were killed in a car bombing at the Tomb of Imam Ali Najaf, Iraq on 2003.

Ali ibn Abi Talib
(Arabic: علي بن أﺑﻲ طالب; Transliteration: ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib,
13th Rajab, 24 BH–21st Ramaḍān, 40 AH; approximately October 23, 598 or 600 or March 17, 599 – January 27, 661) was the cousin and son-in-law of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and ruled over the Islamic Caliphate from 656 to 661, and was the first male convert to Islam.
Sunni Muslims consider Ali the fourth and final of the Rashidun (rightly guided Caliphs), while Shi'a Muslims regard Ali as the first Imam and consider him and his descendants the rightful successors to Muhammad, all of which are members of the Ahl al-Bayt, the household of Muhammad. This disagreement split the Ummah (Muslim community) into the Sunni and Shi'a branches.
Muslim sources, especially Shi'a ones, state that during Muhammad's time, Ali was the only person born in the Kaaba sanctuary in Mecca, the holiest place in Islam. His father was Abu Talib ibn Abd al-Muttalib and his mother was Fatima bint Asad, but he was raised in the household of Muhammad, who himself was raised by Abu Talib, Muhammad's uncle. When Muhammad reported receiving a divine revelation, Ali was the first male to accept his message, dedicating his life to the cause of Islam.
Ali migrated to Medina shortly after Muhammad did. Once there Muhammad told Ali that God had ordered Muhammad to give his daughter, Fatimah, to Ali in marriage. For the ten years that Muhammad led the community in Medina, Ali was extremely active in his service, leading parties of warriors on battles, and carrying messages and orders. Ali took part in the early caravan raids from Mecca and later in almost all the battles fought by the nascent Muslim community.
Ali was appointed Caliph by the Companions of Muhammad (the Sahaba) in Medina after the assassination of the third caliph, Uthman ibn Affan. He encountered defiance and civil war during his reign. In 661, Ali was attacked one morning while worshipping in the mosque of Kufa, and died a few days later.
In Muslim culture, Ali is respected for his courage, knowledge, belief, honesty, unbending devotion to Islam, deep loyalty to Muhammad, equal treatment of all Muslims and generosity in forgiving his defeated enemies, and therefore is central to mystical traditions in Islam such as Sufism. Ali retains his stature as an authority on Qur'anic exegesis, Islamic jurisprudence and religious thought. Ali holds a high position in almost all Sufi orders which trace their lineage through him to Muhammad. Ali's influence has been important throughout Islamic history.

The Shrine of Hazrat Ali, also known as the Blue Mosque, is a mosque in Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan. It is one of the reputed burial places of Ali, cousin and son-in-law of Muhammad. It is the building which gives the city in which it is located, Mazar-i-Sharif (meaning "Tomb of the Exalted") its name.
According to Shi'a Muslim belief, Ali was originally buried by his two sons, Hasan and Husayn in an undisclosed location, which was later made known by the great, grandson of Husayn and Sixth Shi'a Imam, Ja'far as-Sadiq - as the grave that is found within Imam Ali Mosque in Najaf, Iraq.
The story the founding of the shrine indicates that, shortly after the murder of Ali and the burial of his body at Najaf, near Baghdad, some of Ali's followers worried that his body would be desecrated by his enemies, and they placed his remains on a white female camel. Ali's followers traveled with the camel for several weeks, until the camel ultimately fell to the ground exhausted. The body was then reburied where the camel fell. The body was said to be rediscovered there in the 12th century.
The Fortress of Al-Ukhaidir is located roughly 50 km south of Karbala, Iraq. It is a large, rectangular fortress erected in 775 AD with a unique defensive style. Constructed by an Abbasid caliph, Ukhaidir represents Abbasid architectural innovation in the structures of its courtyards, residences and mosque. With the architectural design, visiting on a dusty yet sunny day offers a chance to capture shadows and illuminating light in the same scene.

Parts of Imam Ali's Last Will:
"I have heard your grandfather, (the Holy Prophet) used to say, "To remove mutual enmity, ill-feeling and hatred among people is better than recommended prayers and fasting of many years."
“Arrange your affairs well, maintain communication and exchange of opinion among yourselves. Beware of disunity and enmity. Do not desist from promoting good deeds and cautioning against bad ones. Should you do that, the worst among you would be your leaders, and you will call upon Allah without response.”
أُوصِيكُمَا بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَ أَلَّا تَبْغِيَا الدُّنْيَا وَ إِنْ بَغَتْكُمَا وَ لَا تَأْسَفَا عَلَى شَيْءٍ مِنْهَا زُوِيَ عَنْكُمَا وَ قُولَا بِالْحَقِّ وَ اعْمَلَا لِلْأَجْرِ وَ كُونَا لِلظَّالِمِ خَصْماً وَ لِلْمَظْلُومِ عَوْناً أُوصِيكُمَا وَ جَمِيعَ وَلَدِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَنْ بَلَغَهُ كِتَابِي بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَ نَظْمِ أَمْرِكُمْ وَ صَلَاحِ ذَاتِ بَيْنِكُمْ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ جَدَّكُمَا ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَقُولُ صَلَاحُ ذَاتِ الْبَيْنِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ عَامَّةِ الصَّلَاةِ وَ الصِّيَامِ
وَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالتَّوَاصُلِ وَ اَلتَّبَاذُلِ وَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ اَلتَّدَابُرَ وَ اَلتَّقَاطُعَ لاَ تَتْرُكُوا اَلْأَمْرَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ اَلنَّهْيَ عَنِ اَلْمُنْكَرِ فَيُوَلَّى عَلَيْكُمْ شِرَارُكُمْ ثُمَّ تَدْعُونَ فَلاَ يُسْتَجَابُ لَكُمْ
«عَلِی مَعَ الحَقِّ وَالحَقُّ مَعَ عَلِی، ولَن یفتَرِقا حَتّى یرِدا عَلَی الحَوضَ »
Ali ibn Abi Talib (d. 661).
