“Entire families have been wiped out.” Lebanese President Joseph Aoun recounts the devastating toll of Israel’s war in his country against Hezbollah. “This is a 3-month-old baby,” he says, holding up a heartbreaking picture. “Is this an imminent threat?”

“The majority of the Lebanese people are fed up with wars,” Lebanese President Joseph Aoun tells me, and has stark words for Hezbollah’s leader: “It’s the Lebanese people, they are not Naim Qassem’s people.”

Marjane Satrapi, celle qui avait su dire non à toutes les oppressions, est partie, emportée par le chagrin, un an après Mattias Ripa, l’amour de sa vie. Elle, qui nous avait appris à rire de nos blessures, n’aura pas survécu à celle-ci.

Il nous reste son oeuvre pour continuer à croire en la lumière. Il nous reste son trait comme horizon de liberté. Il nous reste sa voix qui nous apprit tant de fois que peine et joie forment les deux mains jointes d’une vie pleine.

Il nous reste Persepolis et sa leçon d'humanité radicale, ses films et ses livres. Une part de sa singularité et de sa force restera éternelle. Je pense à sa famille, à ses amis, à ses proches, et à la famille humaine qui perd l'une de ses boussoles.

Marjane Satrapi, an artist and author who wrote "Persepolis" that chronicled her childhood in Tehran under the Islamic Revolution, dies at 56. https://t.co/75NJoS1WbQ

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

How very very sad.

Marjane was a true artist and advocate for Iranian women and freedom.

She disrupted literature with her wildly successful autobiographical graphic novel, Persepolis.

AFP reports she died of sadness a year after losing her husband, the love of her life.

RIP

[Narges Mohammadi | نرگس محمدی @nargesfnd]

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Marjane Satrapi, the acclaimed Franco-Iranian artist, filmmaker, and author of the internationally celebrated graphic novel Persepolis who died at the age of 56.

Marjane Satrapi was a fearless voice for feminism, human rights, and freedom. Through her work and public engagement, she consistently advocated for women’s rights, standing in solidarity with the people of Iran and amplifying the message of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement on the global stage.

According to a statement from her family, Marjane Satrapi “died of sadness” a little more than a year after the passing of her husband, Mattias Ripa, a producer, actor, and screenwriter, who died on April 8, 2025.

Marjane Satrapi leaves behind a powerful cultural, artistic, and moral legacy. Her courage will continue to resonate far beyond her lifetime.

“There has to be a diplomatic solution, a return to war would be utterly senseless and utterly reckless, and it would cast millions into horrific suffering.” @NRC_Egeland speaks to @biannagolodryga from Tehran about what he’s seeing on the ground — and what more war could bring.
