Angelina Joile speaks up in support of ‘basic rights of Iranian men, women’

 

-

Jolie took it to her Instagram to bring to attention the current human rights situation in Iran. She brought into light the incident that occurred last year in September when a 22-year-old Masha Amini passed away while being in the country’s police custody.

The 48-year-old humanitarian mentioned in her post that she respects the courage of Iranian men and women who are fighting for their basic rights and freedom.

She also posted a heart-wrenching picture of a woman whose tears ran down her face in the colours of the Iranian flag.


Jolie, 49, also wrote a note to show solidarity with the citizens of Iran and also gave a special shoutout to people who were imprisoned for reporting on Amini’s last rites.

“Respect and solidarity to Iranian women and men for their courage in defending basic rights and freedoms, and thinking of those imprisoned or facing prosecution – as in other situations where freedom of expression is restricted or denied – including #ElahehMohammadi #NiloofarHamedi #NargesMohammadi #ToomajSalwhi”, wrote the Academy Awards winner.
