On September 21, 2025, Quemar La Jaula posted from Cali, Colombia about a commemoration of the third anniversary of the Gina Uprising with displays and discussions in a public park. Read on for English and Spanish descriptions and photos.

On the anniversary of the Gina Amini [Woman, Life, Freedom] uprising, a discussion activity was held with friends and passers-by at the Parque del Ingenio in Cali, Colombia. After more than four decades of repression, discrimination, oppression and exploitation, the killing of Gina Amini at the hands of the reactionary Islamic Republic of Iran in 2022, transformed smoldering anger into a revolutionary uprising across Iran. The regime tried to extinguish it with a bloody repression, but the resistance of women to mandatory wearing of the hijab, the perseverance of political prisoners in seeking justice, and the resistance of oppressed nationalities, keep the cry of freedom on the lips of millions. But will it be freedom of the exploiters and oppressors to keep the old regime with new faces at the top --or freedom of the oppressed to smash the old order and replace it with something far better? (translated from Spanish by IEC volunteers)

En el Parque del ingenio en Cali, en el aniversario del levantamiento de Gina Amini se realizó una actividad de discusión con amigos y transeúntes. Tras más de cuatro décadas de represión, discriminación, opresión y explotación, el asesinato de Gina Amini a manos de la reaccionaria República Islámica de Irán en 2022, transformó la ira acumulada en un levantamiento revolucionario por todo Irán. El régimen intentó extinguirlo con una represión sangrienta, pero la resistencia de las mujeres al uso obligatorio del hiyab, la perseverancia de los presos políticos en busca de justicia, y la resistencia de las nacionalidades oprimidas, mantienen el grito de libertad en los labios de millones. Pero, ¿será libertad de los explotadores y opresores para mantener el viejo régimen con caras nuevas en la cima, o la libertad de los oprimidos para destrozar el viejo orden y reemplazarlo con algo mucho mejor?
