Remembering the brilliant Marjane Satrapi, the extraordinary artist and filmmaker behind Persepolis.
Through this deeply personal and powerful film, she gave audiences a story of identity, freedom, exile and resistance that continues to resonate across the world.
Women asking for rights are dragged through the streets while extremists are empowered. That tells you everything about the Pakistani establishment. The world keeps ignoring how dangerous Pakistan’s radicalization crisis has become.
This is where the taliban’s ideology was created.
Public executions can normalize violence and create a culture of spectacle rather than justice. If rape and murder carry the same punishment, offenders may be more likely to kill victims to eliminate witnesses.

I am a gay person from Pakistan who has accepted himself. I don't care what your religion (or your fav interpretation) says about me. I don't care what the law thinks of me. I don't care what society thinks of me.
I still am gay. Nothing can "un-gay" us.
Deal with it.
