There is a war on women and girls in Iran, where they are being poisoned by chemical gas attacks at school. 300 suspected attacks have hit more than 100 girls’ schools in recent months. Horrific. washingtonpost.com/world/2023/04/…

A deeply personal debut piece for @ManorVellum where I talk about @babakanvari's film "I Came By", and how it shows the often-silenced struggle faced by asylum seekers like myself. Fantastic film starring @Percelleascott, Kelly Macdonald, George MacKay Online & the evergreen Hugh Bonneville.

In Mashhad police tried to arrest a Mother for not wearing her hijab. But her son defended her. The police handcuffed him to take him away. People got united-- forcing the police to release him. This is an example of people’s resistance against the regime.

Thank you to Nicola Richards & Andrew Gwynne MP who raised the matter of my #HungerStrike in UK House of Commons again. I thank James Cleverly🇬🇧 for his concern for my health, however his answer that 'We do not discuss or speculate future proscriptions' & 'we always keep options available

British-Iranian Vahid Beheshti وحید بهشتی is now on his 69th day of hunger strike protesting against the brutality of the Iranian regime. In the Commons today, I urged the Foreign Secretary to proscribe the IRGC. We need to call them out for what they are, terrorists.

While King Charles cannot make a public show of support for hunger striker Vahid Beheshti وحید بهشتی Queen Camilla can. Hoping HRH will have a quiet word with Rishi Sunak in private meetings with the PM to do the right thing. NOT to proscribe the #IRGC a disastrously bad look for the UK

Three protestors from the recent uprising, the "Children of Iran", were murdered this morning through execution. Do you see any of this? Do you hear us?

Devastating news: Today, May 19, the Islamic Republic has murdered 3 more protesters #MajidKazemi, #SaeedYaghoubi and #SalehMirhashemi after forced confessions and sham trials. UN Human Rights Council and the international community is failing the Iranian people. #WomanLifeFreedom #MahsaAmini

My friend’s Nathan Ballingrud ‘s novel ‘The Strange’ is truly marvellous! So full of adventure and mystery. It’s like True Grit meets Solaris on Mars! I’m always in awe of Nathan’s imagination and beautiful writing. Highly recommend ! #thestrange

I love this poster design from Andrew Nicolson for Wounds, the movie from Babak Anvari, based on "The Visible Filth." It's both hideous and beautiful.
