🇫🇷🇮🇷🇵🇸 A French-Iranian woman arrested and imprisoned in France over social media posts denouncing the genocide in Gaza
Mahdieh Esfandiari Jaliseh, a French-Iranian citizen born on February 24, 1986, and residing in Lyon since 2018, was arrested by French police on February 28, 2025. She has reportedly been held at Fresnes Prison since March 2.
Her arrest appears to be linked to social media posts in which she denounced the #genocide in #Gaza and expressed support for the Palestinian people. She is reportedly being accused of glorifying terrorism.
It was her relatives, concerned after losing contact with her, who alerted the Iranian authorities. In response, the Iranian MFA has requested clarification on the exact reasons for her arrest. As of now, the French FM has not provided a clear answer.
In #France, as in many Western countries, solidarity with the Palestinian people increasingly appears to be criminalized, in disregard of the fundamental principles of freedom of expression.

IGOR STRELKOV: THE STRATEGIC SITUATION FOR RUSSIA CONTINUES TO WORSEN
Regarding the question of prospects, I reiterate:
1) The war will continue "to attrition" and this is extremely disadvantageous for Russia, but it is better than "accelerated capitulation" (even "disguised"). It is very good and great that #Zelensky and his British-American masters are so stubborn - otherwise they would have been given another wonderful and advantageous opportunity to "lead you know who by the nose".
2) In May, we are in for many "major troubles" - both in the narrow military and military-political "theaters of military operations". The enemy has serious "held" reserves, and our forces in a number of directions are seriously depleted by continuous but ineffective attacks. Nevertheless, we do not have a "fatal inevitability of major defeats" - much depends on the tactical actions of the enemy and our own command.
3) The strategic situation for #Russia continues to rapidly deteriorate - #Britain, #France and #Italy are gradually, "sneakingly" being drawn into the war. #Romania and #Turkey are next in line (and in the future, Poland + the "Baltic bastards"). The bragging of our media and their assurances that "without the #US, the Europeans are not capable of fighting" are frankly infuriating: We have not been able to defeat one so-called "Ukraine" in three years. Why are we so sure that we will be able to defeat "#Ukraine + all of #EU"?
Sincerely,
