Horrified to learn that my friend, prominent Iranian journalist Pouria Zeraati was stabbed outside his home in London. While we wait for an investigation, I hope the Metropolitan Police takes the threats by the Islamic Republic to kill Iranian journalists in exile seriously.…
Get well soon, Pouria Zeraati. More power to you 💚🤍❤️
