Greetings Everyone!
Although
Amnesty International has not released a statement regarding this
fast-breaking news, we are very hopeful that the agreement between the
United States, EU countries, and Iran regarding the peaceful use of
nuclear energy will lead to better relations and that human rights
issues will be addressed. Click here for just one of the many articles about this landmark deal.
We encourage you to share this poem, "Happy
Rebirth Dearest
Farkhondeh," written just days ago. The
sadness, the frustration, the outrage, the inspiration can be felt with
each line. Thank you, Majid, for sharing your poem with us. Her murder
and her life will not be forgotten. As you have said in your poem,
"Freedom fighters never die." Click here to read this poem. To learn more about this amazing woman, click #JusticeForFarkhunda.
