We are deeply saddened to hear of the esteemed poet Michael Longley's death last night in Belfast. We extend our sincere condolences to his wife, Edna and to his family, and to poets all over the world whose lives have been enriched by his poetry. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam

We stand in solidarity with Iranian poet Mahvash Sabat, 71, serving a second 10-year jail sentence following her arrest in 2022. She recently underwent open-heart surgery and will be returned to prison very soon. #FreeMahvash Please read & repost. www.newarab.com/news/iranian...

When they shared the Pen Pinter Prize for poetry in 2017, the great Irish poet, Michael Longley, described #MahvashSabet as “a songbird trapped in a cage”. Having just had open heart surgery, Mahvash will now be returned to that cage. It should not happen. #FreeMahvash #Iran.

Campaign for #Bahai poet, #MahvashSabet, who is to be returned to prison after open-heart surgery and is seriously ill. 5.30 this evening on social media. #Iran #Bahai #FoRB #HumanRights

Two years ago this piece appeared in the Journal highlighting the plight of #MahvashSabet, an award winning poet. In prison now for a second 10 year term for her faith, 71 year's old and severely ill. #Iran should release her immediately. #FoRB #Bahai www.thejournal.ie/readme/minor...

71-year-old #Bahai prisoner of conscience, Mahvash Sabet, sentenced to a second leghty prison term for her faith, is now in hospital in #Iran in dangerously poor health and awaiting surgery. She must be released after her surgery. Mahvash deserves freedom and dignity. #FreeMahvash #HumanRights

#Bahai citizens of #Iran are targets of government led persecution from cradle to grave

In 1913, Ataollah Rezvani, a #Bahai man in #Iran, was brutally murdered for being a member of Iran’s largest religious minority, the Baha’i Faith. A court ruling this October finally confirmed that Mr. Rezvani was the victim of a premeditated murder - but no compensation awarded as he was a Bahai.
