I will never forget the experience of working on #TheBoyWithTwoHearts @NationalTheatre @theCentre Powerful, truthful, real storytelling that affected the people who came to see it. I wish the UK government showed more compassion in 2023. #RefugeesWelcome #WorldTheatreDay
I left home. This house is used to being left behind—sometimes for prison, sometimes for migration, and now, for escaping war. How heartbreaking it is that my home watches its residents leave, again and again. I used to think the most painful moment for this house was when Ali…

During the Covid lockdown in Italy 🇮🇹, in a beautiful building, some people were singing Black Sabbath songs That is immortality 🖤 Rest in peace, Ozzy Osbourne
We are lucky to get to travel with our work and on occasion land somewhere wonderful (and hot) #Morocco 🇲🇦
Monkey. I loved this as a kid. I had no idea what was going on. I just loved his little cloud ☁️
Stop the persecution of Bahai in Iran The Isfahan Revolutionary Court has sentenced 15 Baha’i women from Baharestan, Isfahan County, to a total of 75 years in prison along with other penalties. Mojgan Pourshafe Ardestani Nasrin Khademi Azita Rezvani-Khah Shola Ashouri Mojdeh…
“The same sun that shines on Iranian homes shines on Afghan homes too.” Yes, sweet girl, you are right. And I’m horrified that you are being treated with anything less than the dignity you deserve. @Refugees
A young Afghan girl breaks down in tears, shattered by the racism in Iran. Afghans born and raised there, children who’ve never even set foot in Afghanistan are being deported. If she’s sent back, she won’t even be allowed to study under the Taliban.
Iranian security forces have raided dozens of homes belonging to members of the Baha’i religious minority during and after the war with Israel. iranwire.com/en/bahais-of-i… #minorityreligions #Bahai #IranIsraelConflict
Young refugees need skills and access to employment so they can rebuild their lives. With partners, UNICEF is supporting youth like Taima and Touqa from refugee and host communities to acquire essential skills and training. #WorldRefugeeDay
This week is the 42nd anniversary of one of the most shameful days in the history of the Islamic Republic of Iran when 10 Bahá’í women were hanged in Shiraz simply for their faith. The online photo of the the event, itself a reconstruction by a French photographer, is too…
For the sake of a free Iran, a stable region and a world at peace—as we urge restraint and adherence to international law—we must also ensure the sovereignty of the Iranian people, not their oppressors. My essay for @TIME
"Iran’s fate will, and should, be written by Iranians—not in foreign capitals or closed rooms," writes Nazanin Boniadi time.com/7294819/the-fu…
Iranians rightly trying to point out that innocent civilians being killed in this conflict are “in truth, hostages.” To a despotic regime. We need to amplify this message from Iranian rapper and activist (now out of prison) @OfficialToomaj ⬇️
The Islamic regime cannot possibly win a war with Israel and the US. They cling to political survival by the thinnest of threads and are desperate to resume talks on a nuclear deal in Oman on Sunday. If the regime is toppled there will be no love lost from Muslim neighbours…
We are grateful to King’s Counsels Baroness @HelenaKennedyQC of The Shaws and @sspowles for their statement in support of Mr Remy Rowhani, a Qatari Baha’i dignitary who was arrested in April on baseless charges. He will face trial on 18 June. Justice demands the charges against…
The soundtrack by #MOGWAI for THE BOMBING OF PAN AM 103 is truly epic. It’s a magnetic film score. Highly, highly recommend this! youtu.be/NzHs-cUsPm4?si…
Tonight was the final episode of THE BOMBING OF PAN AM 103 on BBC1 before its worldwide release on NETFLIX. It’s been an honour to portray Nazir Jaafar. The whole series has been a testament to sensitive and respectful story telling. An exceptional team all round. Brilliant.
A haunting new track by dissident rapper @OfficialToomaj, Otaghe Bi Panjareh (“The Windowless Room”), born from his time in solitary confinement in Iran. His voice couldn’t be silenced. Now it echoes louder than ever. 🎧 youtu.be/qH8CQFoiAXQ
Such an honour to be in this incredible series 👇🏽👇🏽
