(Post 2) For the past few weeks, we worked with "This American Life" to collect voice memos from people across Iran during the war and regime-imposed internet blackout, which the UN human rights office has called “one of the longest and most severe shutdowns ever recorded globally.”
Through these voices, we hope to offer glimpses into daily life in Iran - the fears, hopes and humanity that persist behind the digital darkness.
The audio episode introduces a language teacher in love with a pro-regime colleague; a doctor who treated survivors of the January massacre, now helping a child suffering a wartime panic attack; and an engineer forced to compromise his values for state-approved internet just to keep his business alive.
We're deeply grateful to the many Iranians who shared their stories with us - despite the dangers and difficulties.
And a heartfelt thank you to the extraordinary team @thisamerlife for the time, care and commitment they brought to sharing these voices — and to the actors, including @taragrammy, @arianmoayed, and @babaktafti, whose performances were so moving that at times we forgot the voices had been re-created.

Benyamin Naghdi, a 26-year-old kickboxing and martial arts champion from Shiraz, was arrested on January 3, 2026.
According to authorities’ claims, Mr. Naghdi allegedly discharged the contents of a fire extinguisher toward security forces while attempting to evade them. He is now facing the charge of “Moharebeh” (enmity against God) and is currently being held in solitary confinement.
A person identifying as Benyamin’s sister is appealing to the public for solidarity, urging everyone to raise their voices to prevent his execution.
فردی که خود را خواهر بنیامین معرفی کرده است، با استمداد از افکار عمومی و درخواست همصدایی، از مردم میخواهد مانع از اجرای حکم اعدام او شوند
بنیامین نقدی جوان ۲۶ساله و قهرمان کیک بوکسینگ و هنرهای رزمی اهل شیراز، در تاریخ ۱۳دی ۱۴۰۴ بازداشت شد.
آقای #بنیامین_نقدی که به ادعاى مقامات به هنگام فرار از دست نيروهاى امنیتی، محتواى یک كپسول آتش نشانى را به سمت آن ها خالى كرده است، حالا با اتهام «محاربه» روبرو است و هم اكنون در سلول انفرادى نگهدارى میشود.
خواهر آقای نقدی از مردم میخواهد با همصداییمانع از کشته شدن برادرش شوند.
« The Final Kiss of Love on Matin’s Silent Lips »
Matin Ghorbani, 23, was shot and killed by security forces during the protests on January 8, 2026, in the city of Karaj.
The image of his wife embracing Matin’s body inside a black body bag sparked a profound wave of public grief and outrage.
Sina Haghshenas, a 25-year-old florist and owner of a shop named « Shahdeh » in Gorgan, was shot and killed by security forces during the protests on January 7, 2026.
According to research by the Boroumand Center, Mr. Behnam Darvishi, a chef from Nahavand, born on December 7, 1993, was killed during the protests on January 9, 2026, in Tehran.
On Thursday, March 19, 2026, security forces arrested Afsaneh Roozbehani and Behnoosh Darvishi, the mother and sister of #Behnam_Darvishi, along with nine other citizens in Nahavand while they were visiting his grave. They were subsequently transferred to Nooshijan Prison in Malayer.
These actions are taking place while families seeking justice in Iran continue to face pressure and security confrontations, even during mourning ceremonies.

Melika, 20, a final-semester economics student from the Yarsan minority, was killed on the night of January 8, 2026. Around 9 PM in Shahrak-e Moallem, Kermanshah, she was shot directly in the head during the protests. After her body was moved to Taleghani Hospital and the forensics office, she was finally returned to her family. She was buried the following day in Shava Cemetery, Kerend, next to her mother.

As the Persian New Year approaches, Siavash + I hosted a Chaharshanbe Suri event at Masquerade and we were honored that Mayor Zohran Mamdani joined our pained Iranian community.
We had poetry, music, food, and stories of Iranians immigrants from all perspectives. We spoke about the devastation of 47 years of a theocratic dictatorship including the IRI-backed massacre of Jan 8+9. And we also spoke about the fear of Western powers bombing our homeland, just like they’ve done for generations.
And Mayor Mamdani listened to us.
He listened to Iranian-New Yorkers giving their perspectives of the tragedies happening there, as well as the ones happening here. In the Mayor’s closing remarks, he spoke to a fragile community with so much care and grace, and finished by saying, “Be omideh azadi” or “With the hope of freedom”.
Numerous Iranians and Iranian-New Yorkers spoke about how good it was to gather, and be heard, especially in a time when we need it most. In these times of pain, all we can do is get together and be with each other. That love is what will conquer hate.
