Amnesty International invites you to join a special screening and panel discussion of the documentary Nasrin, which was clandestinely filmed by director Jeff Kauffman and narrated by Oscar award winner Olivia Colman.

This is widely regarded as a must-see film, offering a firsthand view of Iranian human rights lawyer, Nasrin Sotoudeh. Nasrin was sentenced to 38 years in prison and 148 lashes for defending women’s rights and peacefully protesting against Iran’s forced hijab (veiling) laws.

Despite international pressure from different organisations and leaders around the world, she remains in Evin prison to this day. Her life continues to be at risk.
