Join @RFKHumanRights on Tuesday at 11 a.m. ET for this important webinar featuring 2023 Brown Democracy Medal recipient Nasrin Sotoudeh.
In December 2024, human rights defender Reza Khandan was arrested at his home and taken into custody at a police station in Tehran. His crime? Advocating against #Iran’s compulsory veiling laws and the death penalty.
This is personal. Reza is a husband, a father, and a man who refused to stay silent. #FreeRezaKhandan
