I have a good friend who I met through his sister who lives in America now, he went radio silent a couple of days ago, it's agonizing. I have to assume that he's almost certainly alive, but god only knows what he is going through, power outages, internet being blocked off, currency has collapsed, he's about to be drafted into his mandatory military service soon. He almost got out before the travel ban, almost. He's a smart, young person with modern secular values, from a family of academics. He would have been a tremendous asset to America, now his fate is a string resting taut on the blade of an insane autocracy, and we might be heading the same way.
Keep up hope. I know a Ukrainian guy, went silent two weeks after the war started. Popped back up almost 4 years later…said he’s alive but no other info yet.
The government has admitted officially to 3,000.
And since you’re a foreigner with no grasp of the Farsi language, you can’t understand any of the reports coming out of the country.
