A woman cuts her hair at her sister’s funeral in #Iran, because the regime shot her sister in the head. Let me be clear with Western female politicians, especially those in leadership positions in Europe: Do not cut your hair in symbolic solidarity with Iranian women. Cut your ties with our killers. Believe me cutting your hair for Instagram solidarity, doesn’t scare dictators. It doesn’t save lives. It just makes you feel better. Stop legitimizing our terrorist regime. Her name was Melika Dastyab. She was 21, a musician, economics student and she was dead by security forces while her sister stood next to her. That’s not a hashtag. That’s a crime against humanity.

Share this to save his life. If you make him famous, the Iranian regime might not execute him tomorrow. #ErfanSoltani

Deeply saddened by the passing of Ernest Montado, former Chief Secretary to HM GoG. His unparalleled contributions to Gibraltar over the years have left an indelible mark. Always there with wise counsel, he truly operated on a level that’s impossible to match. #Gibraltar

Don’t understand how you use a moment of joy to send a message of hate and harm. Saddened to see Spanish youth using Franco’s narrative. Torn from my Spanish grandparents, I recall waving to them through the iron bars of that closed frontier. Others lost more @EURO2024 @UEFA
