Been amazing time to supporting Richard on his hunger strike outside the Iranian Embassy... and yesterday evening we had a time of fellowship singing together, continuing to make our voices heard with Richard to #FreeNazanin
This morning they both stopped their hunger strike which was wise as there is a heatwave hitting UK Europe and Iran. But the campaign goes on till the Iranians free an innocent mother. Mothers are blessed and should be respected it would help to earn some respect too of Iran if they showed Mercy & Compassion - the foundation of our religion and all world religions. As Muslims we also value Jesus Isa and he was the embodiment of love and healing with support for those in pain. We recognise the pain in Richard at being separated from his wife and beautiful daughter. There are no grounds for an innocent woman, wife and mother to be imprisoned.. It has been good that many of our UK MPs have visited Richard outside the embassy including the leader of the opposition Jeremy Corbyn and the Speaker of the House John Bercow.. Scroll down to see my letter of appeal to my MP John McDonnell & Shadow Chancellor to get the help of the UN on the case. John as printed copy plus attachment as email and tweeted.
I shared a song with Richard that we used to sing on the rooftops in an Indian Ashram on warm barmy evenings -
Let my heart reflect they light Lord
As the Moon reflects the light of the Sun.
In love always in Love
Oh Allah Allah oh Allah
Oh Allah Allah oh.
I am still wearing my #FreeNazanin badge as it helps to get folk talking on the case to keep the focus and to promote the petition too. Below my letter of appeal to John my MP..who I have known for over 20 years and know he actions on issue of great urgency and where human rights are violated.
