My friend Niloufar Bayani, a scientist working in ecology & conservation, was baselessly arrested in Iran. She's now been imprisoned for FIVE YEARS.
I, along with some of our mutual friends from McGill University, wrote an article about Nilou to advocate for her immediate release. Nilou has been caged for far too long, for NOTHING.
@74 @panoptykon Dzięki, na stronie nie widziałem jescze linku do fediverse :)
