“In forty years, I have never seen such brazen cruelty toward students and faculty.” bostonreview.net/articles/lette…

CNN's Miguel Marquez: 'I've covered lots of this sort of stuff around the world, and i've never seen this many police moving into one area.'

Manahel could have been a positive ad for MBS’s narrative. Instead, by imposing this outrageous sentence, the Saudi authorities have once again laid bare the contradictory nature of their so-called reforms, and their determination to control Saudi women alqst.org/posts/956

I still can’t stop thinking about Nika and her final hours at the hands of the brutes of the Islamic Republic. It’s hard to breathe thinking of the horror and brutality written in the regimes own words. May her memory haunt them until their downfall.

Free toomaj!

Iranian authorities must quash Toomaj Salehi’s conviction and death sentence and release him immediately.

'We are alarmed by the imposition of the death sentence and the alleged ill-treatment of Mr. Salehi which appears to be related solely to the exercise of his right to freedom of artistic expression and creativity.' - UN FFMI's statement on Toomaj Salehi
