I want to speak a painful truth: For over 4 years, Afghan women have been stripped of all their rights. If they speak out for justice, they are thrown in prison. Yet, they are not silent — they study in secret schools and stand with courage. But here is the bitter

According to the Watson School of International and Public Affairs in Rhode Island, more journalists have been killed in Gaza than in both world wars, the Vietnam war, the wars in Yugoslavia and the war in Afghanistan combined.

This is absolutely not true. On a long car journey Alex once regaled me with all his machinations to get support for same sex marriage. Including listening and making concessions to religious leaders. The opposite of how Sturgeon behaved re:GRR

Last month John Swinney said culture must "force us to look at things from different perspectives”. Last week so-called artists at Summerhall Arts Fringe venue set up a ‘safe room’ because they were ‘terrified’ while Kate Forbes was in the building. Kate Forbes, Scotland's

The National Library of Scotland has bowed to pressure from a small group of their staff to censor a book written by feminists, sex abuse survivors and lesbians about their experiences during an important period in Scottish recent history. Appalling. thetimes.com/article/1ceff9…

This is the book about the Sturgeon era that the National Library of Scotland doesn't want you to find in its centenary exhibition and the Edinburgh International Book Festival doesn't want you to hear discussed. Some shops don't want you to find it. 1/2 tinyurl.com/387hxadt

Oh, Scotland.

Retweeting our letter in daylight - which is what this needs lots of. Please share widely, on here, and other platforms. This has truly shocked us, in a sea of shocking behaviour by public institutions. We await her response.

I call on John Swinney as FM,  unequivocally to condemn the decision by Summerhall Edinburgh arts venue who have now “cancelled” Kate Forbes alleging that in some way she puts performers & artists “safety & well being at risk”- an absurd & manifestly ill founded assertion.

Message from a young lady who live inside Afghanistan:- “I want to kill myself, and I am not alone, many women in Afghanistan are broken now Please help us and please share my voices “.

Nicola Sturgeon cancelled all planned interviews with Scottish broadcast journalists, including Sky News, today. We’d been promised time to discuss her tenure as FM after she toured the London studios. Instead she held a huddle with entire Scottish media lasting just 14

Today is August 15 — the day Afghan women lost all their basic human rights. We are watching closely who even acknowledges this painful reality, even online. Because it’s not just about Afghanistan — if it happened here, it could happen elsewhere tomorrow. Let’s be the

Iran’s regime has confirmed the death sentence of Sharifeh Mohammadi, a mother, a labor activist, and a defender of women’s rights. Her only “crime” was demanding justice. Now she faces execution, leaving her child without a mother. This isn’t just about one woman. It’s an

Afghanistan under sharia rulling of Taliban: Taliban terrorists are whipping a teacher who "dared to teach Afghan girls." Girls are prohibited from going to school, university, work or even going outside the house without male guard.😡

Over the next few days, there will be protests outside many of the hotels housing migrants. Like most people, I think the UK's migration & asylum system is a total mess, but to bring fear to those people seeking a new life, most of whom have suffered trauma getting here & often

For the past 4 years Afghan women have lived without basic rights of education , work and freedom of movement. Where is the global community ?when it comes to justice for Afghan women? Yal ⚖️🗣 J.K. Rowling
