Annulation du permis de construire du Mur de la Paix sur l’avenue de Breteuil : excellente nouvelle pour le patrimoine et la magnifique perpective vers les Invalides.

Ce projet, qui nécessitait de couler des centaines de m2 de béton et de sacrifier une partie des pelouses…

BREAKING: The Navalny film wins a BAFTA for best documentary. Very good news that goes far above anything to do with filmmaking. Navalny’s fate at the hands of Putin needs to be known far and wide for his life to be saved

[Sir William Browder KCMG @Billbrowder]

In a world of bad news, this was a glorious evening. Back in November 2021, I sat with Richard Ratcliffe (husband of Nazanin) along with ⁦@MoniqueVilla⁩ and Penny Madden KC to strategize to get Nazanin out of Iranian prison. Tonight we all gathered with Nazanin in person!

[Monique Villa @Monique_Villa]

So honoured to give the #magnitskyawards to #NazaninZaghariRatcliffe yesterday. Watch the video here https://t.co/F3bTZScW3L and see at minute 6 Gabriella Ratcliffe, 7, accepting the award for her mother

[Tulip Siddiq @TulipSiddiq]

Richard Ratcliffe is on day 19 of his hunger strike.

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister is in London meeting with his UK counterpart.

Richard and I (as his MP) have a meeting with the Foreign Office after.

I’m praying for a breakthrough and an end to this nightmare. #FreeNazanin

What an uplifting story from the Washington Post: He found a 2.2-carat diamond in an Arkansas park. Then he proposed to his girlfriend. https://t.co/n8vUVghJxq

#Nazanin is innocent and a bargaining chip for the payment of the debt that the UK owes to Iran. She is an hostage since more than five years and will now wait another year. The UK government should pay their debt once and for all. My heart bleeds for her, Richard and Gabriella

[Monique Villa @Monique_Villa]

Devastating, shocking and a blow to my dear #Nazanin condemned to one more year in jail for propaganda because she participated in a demonstration in London 12 years ago. #Boris has let her down completely.

[Katharine Horgan @katharinehorgan]

I finished this by @Monique_Villa today; an interesting overview of the issue of global modern day slavery with a few case studies through real survivors stories. Lots of signposts to other resources: what to read, people to be aware of, etc. Next for me is “Disposable People”.

[Tulip Siddiq @TulipSiddiq]

It’s a big day for Nazanin and her family tomorrow as the high court will again hear about the £400m debt that the U.K. owes Iran. I’ll be watching tomorrow’s events closely and hoping the Government realise they’re running out of chances to #FreeNazanin

[Monique Villa @Monique_Villa]

#Nazanin Kudos to #RichardRatcliffe, her husband, who has relentlessly fought for her release, even in the darkest hours. After a few hunger strikes, five years apart, lets hope Richard Nazanin and Gabriella are reunited very soon in London.

[Monique Villa @Monique_Villa]

#Nazanin has her tag off and seems to be freed after 5 years

[Monique Villa @Monique_Villa]

So #Nazanin has no longer a tag on her ankle: she is free! But cannot leave the country yet. She is so happy and can finally relax after 5 years

[Monique Villa @Monique_Villa]

Admirable Nadia, the fight for justice goes on!

[Nadia Murad @NadiaMuradBasee]

After 6 years, I was able to bury the remains of 2 of my brothers. My community of Kocho was able to lay over 100 of our loved ones to rest. This is just the beginning of justice for Yazidis. Thousands of families still wait for the identification & burial of their loved ones.

[Monique Villa @Monique_Villa]

Outrageous from the British Foreign Office that they don’t stand up to defend Nazanin, who is under their “diplomatic protection”!

[Free Nazanin @FreeNazanin]

Day 1,765 - 5 weeks to go...
This week the Foreign Office warned us of threats to Nazanin and her family if we continued to publicise Nazanin’s release date.
