قوه قضاییه ایران باز هم برای چندتا جوون به خاطر اعتراضات مسالمت‌آمیز احکام سنگین برید. جدی چطور دلشون میاد با سرنوشت مردم این‌طوری بازی کنن؟ بدون دادگاه علنی و وکیل انتخابی!
Translated by GHRNetwork TeamIran’s judiciary has once again handed down heavy sentences to several young people over peaceful protests. How can they play with people’s futures like this, without a public trial or a lawyer of their own choosing?

گشت‌های جدیدی که پلیس امنیت اخلاقی تو خیابونا راه انداخته فقط واسه اینه که آرامش روانی رو از دخترا بگیره. کرامت انسانی تو این مملکت کلاً فراموش شده.
Translated by GHRNetwork TeamThe new morality-security patrols in the streets seem designed only to destroy women’s peace of mind. Human dignity has been almost completely forgotten in this country.

Кремль принял законы, по которым если назовешь войну «войной», дадут 15 лет! Власти РФ задушили любой протест в Москве.
Translated by GHRNetwork TeamThe Kremlin has adopted laws under which calling the war a “war” can result in a 15-year sentence. Russian authorities have crushed virtually every form of protest in Moscow.
Елена Петрова
Минюст России объявил все независимые СМИ «иноагентами». Это просто уничтожение гражданского общества, свободы слова и правды.
Translated by GHRNetwork TeamRussia’s Justice Ministry has labeled independent media outlets as “foreign agents.” This is the destruction of civil society, freedom of expression and the truth.
Иван Волков
ФСБ сажает политических оппонентов по сфабрикованным делам о наркотиках или экстремизме. Суды просто выполняют приказы сверху.
Translated by GHRNetwork TeamThe FSB imprisons political opponents using fabricated drug or extremism cases. The courts simply carry out orders from above.

Правительство Путина запретило любые митинги. ОМОН забирает людей даже за одиночный пикет с чистым листом бумаги в руках.
Translated by GHRNetwork TeamPutin’s government has effectively prohibited public demonstrations. Riot police detain people even for standing alone with a blank sheet of paper.
Ivanov
Скажешь что-то против власти — и тебя сразу повяжут. Журналистов всех пересажали, суды просто штампуют сроки.
Translated by GHRNetwork TeamSay something against the government and they'll bust you immediately. They've locked up all the journalists, and the courts are just rubber-stamping prison sentences.
Petrov
Наши суды — это просто цирк (балаган). Приговор готов ещё до начала процесса, если ты не лижешь сапоги власти.
Translated by GHRNetwork TeamOur courts are a total circus. The verdict is ready before the trial even starts, unless you're busy licking the government's boots.
Smirnov
Журналистов пересажали или выкинули из страны. Настоящих новостей нет, один сплошной зомбоящик.
Translated by GHRNetwork TeamThey've jailed the journalists or kicked them out of the country. There are zero real news stories left, just the non-stop zombie-box [state TV].
Kuznetsov
Люди гниют в тюрьмах (нарах) просто за то, что вышли с чистым листом бумаги. Это полный беспредел.

The report describes a system built around surveillance, censorship, forced labor, arbitrary imprisonment, severe punishment and political classification with very limited public accountability.

The investigation examines cyber theft, digital assets, overseas IT-worker schemes, laundering networks and sanctions-evasion mechanisms tied to state-linked revenue generation.
Transnational Cyber Threats and Remote-Work Infiltration
The report examines fraudulent remote employment, stolen identities, laptop farms, corporate access and cyber operations that can create security exposure far beyond North Korea’s borders.
