And Vance really did, and by his own admission, intentionally "create stories" for political advantage that put residents of his state at risk of physical harm.
Will you join me in giving a voice to #ArezooBadri, paralyzed after being shot by Iran’s morality police for not covering her hair? Arezoo needs us now.

An international investigation is urgently needed.
Together, we are a stronger 💔
