If you get arrested,

do not think it is the end of the line, you still have time to protect yourself.

Especially now.

The sentences you say as a confession:

I came to protest against high prices.

So that the government will hear our voice.

If they try to link you to a person or people outside the country,

or say that this

confession was trained,

deny it as fast as you can and say it was from those

expat traitors whose true colors were

exposed in the twelve- day war and I hate them. We are not without a homeland, we

are just protesting against high prices. And really insult us expats.

If they mention anyone’s name,

say you have never heard of them.

All of you should have Soleimani’s

or Khamenei’s picture as your phone wallpaper. I know it bothers you and you do not

like it, but you have to do it. We have to play along with them. Just as we cannot

tell informers from real people,

they must not be able to tell either.

Play the game by their own rules. This way,

in the end you will be detained for ten days and that is it. Remember that heroes

abroad or in

prison cannot do

anything for Iran.

So your survival and safety are more important than anything.
