Sydney Peace Prize

Congratulations to Nazanin Boniadi, the winner of this year’s Sydney Peace Prize for her work for her steadfast work in support of the #WomanLifeFreedom movement in Iran.

Boniadi is urging Australia to impose sanctions on Iranian Communications Minister Eisa Zarepour. Zarepour, educated in Australia, is accused of being involved in internet shutdowns in Iran.
