A travesty of justice. Prominent activist #ArashSadeghi is a hero and does not belong in prison.

The real number of suicides among women in Afghanistan is much higher. While filming at a hospital in Herat last year for our year-long investigation, many doctors told me the Taliban didn’t let them record all suicides as they want to keep the figures low.

Heartbreaking!
According to the United Nations Human Rights Council, the situation is so desperate for #AfghanWomen that they are committing suicide at a rate of one or two a day.
Please don’t forget about our beloved sisters in Afghanistan.

On regime change in Iran and his role repeats what he has often said:
"I'm not running for any office nor do I seek any political position in the apparatus of state ... I'd rather be an advocate for the people... I don't have any ambitions for powers or authority."

130 days since #MahsaAmini was killed & #IranRevolution erupted. Since then, 530 killed & 16,000 + arrested.
This is 16 year old #HastiHosseinPanahi she’s been in a coma for months after being attacked by forces of the Islamic Republic.
Mahsa Amini was not an anomaly in #Iran

Today is the 33 year anniversary of the untimely death of Iranian singer Hayedeh; died at 47 after playing Club Casablanca near San Francisco.
In 1979, the Islamic Republic made it illegal for women to sing in public.
There’s been no women singers in Iran since.
