International Day of the Girl Child, But What Is There to Celebrate for Afghan Girls?
Every day, I receive heartbreaking messages from inside Afghanistan about girls facing forced marriage, child marriage, mental health struggles, and other forms of suffering. Meanwhile, millions of girls are denied their fundamental right to education, freedom, and the opportunity to build their own futures.
For Afghan girls, this is not just a day of celebration. It is a reminder of a continuing injustice.
I call on the United Nations and the international community to stop treating engagement with the Taliban as progress while Afghan girls remain excluded from classrooms.
Dialogue must bring real change, accountability, and the restoration of fundamental rights.

Don't cry, Baba. 😔💔
Hours before his execution, Alireza Raeisi was allowed one final phone call from Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan. His father was crying on the line. So Alireza, with hours left to live, tried to comfort the man who raised him.
"What can I do, Baba. They want to take my whole life from me."
Then he asked for one last message:
"Say hello to my uncle. Tell him I'm looking after Ramin over there."
Ramin was his cousin. The son of that same uncle. He was shot dead in the streets of Isfahan during the protests. Now the regime has hanged the other one. At dawn. In secret.
This is what the Islamic Republic calls justice: 18 days of torture. Electric shocks. A forced confession. A trial lasting minutes. An appeal thrown out in less than 48 hours. A gallows built beside a Revolutionary Guard executioner.
They think the rope will end the uprising. The rope is only creating more anger towards society.
When I talk to any of the family members of those who are in prison on the death road, they have a simple demand: tel the world: #StopExecutionsInIran, demand accountability for these unlawful executions. Sanction the judges and executioners. Silence is complicity.

Pro Pally scum all over London today attacking police and officers just push people.
When any normal people protest for legitimate reasons about the country we're in, batons are drawn, riot shields, dogs.
More clear two-tier cowardly policing.
Migrant brother and sister Ilia Belov and Nadjedzha Belova have both walked free from court today following this attack on children in Dundee.
Following the attack, Pakistani parasite @HumzaYousaf blamed the child during the incident.
Scum sticking by scum.
1 - In his farewell game for Argentina, Lionel Messi scored one and assisted two goals and ranked first for shots (9), shots on target (5), xG (1.97), touches in the opposition box (12), chances created (4), dribbles (4) and final third passes (41).
Unparalleled.
@FabrizioRomano Cristiano Ronaldo in 2011 after Ricardo Carvalho left the Portugal camp because he wasn’t starting:
"No one has a guaranteed place. The coach decides"
In 2011, 33 yo Ricardo Carvalho walked out of Portugal’s camp with reports that he was unhappy over not starting, saying he was ‘disrespected’.
A 26-year old Cristiano Ronaldo had this to say:
"No one is guaranteed their place in the national team. Whoever is in their best form and whoever the coach chooses will play".
15 years later, what has changed now?
Karma is a sweet B! Let the fraud retire. Please Jesus 🙏🏾
Das 👇🏼ist die Juristin Amit Soussana am 7. Oktober 2023. Ihr Leidensweg ist gut dokumentiert. Sie hat überlebt und eine Zeugenaussage gemacht. Unwiderlegbar gab es beim #October7thMassacre systematische sexuelle #Gewalt. Gegen die Billigung der Verbrechen gehe ich auf die Straße.
