Dear Iranian Authorities,

We stand in solidarity with Ahoo Daryaei, who courageously fought for her right to freedom of choice.

We call for her release from the psychiatric facility that you admitted her to.

This was not an act of justice, this is a violation of human rights.

Tory leadership candidate Kemi Badenoch stated in a BBC interview this weekend that not all cultures were "equally valid” citing “cultures that believe in child marriage” as an example, before saying that she thought it was “extraordinary” that people thought this view (1/6)
