Shocking News:
Execution for Showing Your Hair: New Hijab Law in Iran

The Islamic Republic has taken its war on women and dissent to horrifying new levels. A new law now allows execution for those accused of promoting “nudity, unveiling, or improper attire.” Imagine this: calling for personal choice or collaborating with media or foreign organizations can now be branded “corruption on earth” under Article 286 of the Islamic Penal Code, a charge punishable by death.

As if death weren’t enough, the new laws, ensuring that flogging and imprisonment continue as punishments for defying forced hijab rules.

For years, these cruel penalties have specifically targeted women and LGBTQ+ communities, criminalizing basic self-expression and personal freedoms.

This is not a law; it is a tool of terror, a deliberate, calculated weapon to crush women, silence voices, and obliterate the fight for equality. The regime, desperate to maintain control, wields fear and violence against its own people, knowing it is losing its grip on power.

The world cannot remain silent. Every moment of inaction enables this tyranny. It’s time to hold the Islamic Republic accountable for its crimes against humanity.
I call on women worldwide, especially prominent actors, athletes, and female politicians, to raise their voices and join this fight against the gender apartheid imposed by the Islamic Republic.
To the men: stand with us. Women’s rights are human rights, and only through unity can we dismantle this tyranny and achieve freedom and equality for all.

Two Iranian women have been sentenced to death by the lslamic regime for advocating for women’s rights.

Bakhshan and Sharifa were found guilty of ‘spreading corruption’ and are now going to be hanged by the Islamic regime.

Our incredible daughter Liz died in the early hours of this morning. She remained determined to the last. Even yesterday she was still making plans. We are so very proud of the kindness, empathy and courage she has shown in the last year. She was not only a phenomenal photographer, she was the best human, and the most wonderful daughter and big sister we could ever have asked for. No one could have fought harder for life than she did. There is a gaping Liz shaped hole in our lives that I am not sure how we will ever fill. We have so much gratitude to every single one of you, whether you offered to help, or liked or shared posts - you ensured Liz’s last two months were her very best. She flew high until the end.

We have two last favours to ask. Firstly, we would like to ask you to share one of her photos - on your social media, or in real life, however you can. Let’s let her go out with a bang. #LizHatton (photos will follow in a thread but do also feel free to choose your own from @lizhatton_photography on Instagram)

Secondly, if you can we would like you to help us with a mission to raise money to fund research into Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumour. With no charity in the UK or internationally funding into effective treatments are lacking. In 2024 a 15% 5 year survival rate is simply not enough. Together we can change that. Whether you can share, donate or raise funds - please be our village one more time. Let’s make this the last item on her bucket list and make sure other families don’t face a similar fate: https://t.co/iSsJO83LLs

"Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh.

There was a pause.

"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet.

"No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I don't think I do."

"That's okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend.

"What are you doing?" asked Pooh.

"Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don't feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either.

"But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know you've got someone there for you. And I'll always be here for you, Pooh."

And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs...he thought that his best friend had never been more right."

Sending thoughts to those having a Difficult Day today and hope you have your own Piglet to sit beside you.

[WRN Afghanistan @WRNAfghanistan]

Thank you @AlexCrawfordSky for this report featuring the voices of women in Afghanistan telling you themselves how horrific their situation is.

It’s not their culture. It’s male violence and control. We say #NoToTaliban.

Please watch and share.

Auschwitz I. Main exhibition. Shoes.

We are the shoes, we are the last witnesses.
We are shoes from grandchildren & grandfathers
From Prague, Paris & Amsterdam,
And because we are only made of fabric & leather
And not of blood & flesh,
Each one of us avoided the hellfire.
(Mosze Szulsztajn)

When he's not supporting Sandy Bear families, Owain can be found gaming, treading the boards, or being given the run around by his three boys. Yet somehow he is finding time to train in preparation for the Cardiff Half Marathon in October! #GoOwain 🤾🏽‍♂️🏅🍻

Today, the Taliban passed a law that bans women from showing their faces and having their voices heard in public. Their burqas must now entirely cover their faces and they are not permitted to speak in public or to look at any males that are not relatives. Perhaps it’s been an emotional year, or maybe it’s because I’m triggered, but I once again cried when I heard the news. I’m still trying to piece myself together. Not even animals are treated with such cruelty, such dehumanization, such indignity, and such little value for human life. This is the entire erasure of the existence of women, and it cuts me to the core to know what Afghanistan and Iran were before this cancerous plague was brought to us. Where are the protests? Where is the outrage? Where is the ICJ? The ICC? Amnesty? Why doesn’t anybody care about the effective enslavement of millions of women under the jihadist system of gender apartheid?
