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.

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).

Kerbala, "ville Sainte" pour les Chiites qui la considèrent comme le 5 ème lieu saint après La Mecque, Médine, Jerusalem et Najaf.
(Patrimoine de l'UNESCO depuis 2019).
En 680, Al Hussain ibn Ali petit-fils de Mahomet et son demi-frère Abbas ont été battus à la bataille de Kerbala. Les pèlerins chiites ont pris l'habitude de se recueillir sur le site de la bataille et sur leurs tombeaux. Les 2 sanctuaires ont subi de nombreuses destructions et reconstructions, certaines récentes en raison des conflits...Ils ont des dômes et minarets dorés et sont décorés de mosaïques.
Ils sont reliés par une esplanade et 2 passages couverts où près de 30 Millions de pèlerins se pressent par an en provenance d'Iran, Inde, Pakistan, Arabie...Ceux ci sont particulièrement nombreux pendant l'Achoura et l'Arbain qui rappellent les martyrs d'Hussain et d'Abbas .
Les hommes et les femmes sont séparés....et le sanctuaire est ouvert 24h/24h.
Partie réservée aux femmes du sanctuaire d'Hussain. Lecture de livres saints...femmes originaires du monde indien.
4 ème "Ville Sainte" chiite après La Mecque, Médine et Jérusalem (Al Aqsa) et avant Kerbala .
