Today, we pause to remember the tragic events of 21 October 1966, when the village of Aberfan was devastated by the collapse of a coal spoil tip, claiming the lives of 144 people including 116 children. We hold them, those left behind to mourn them, and the community of Aberfan in our prayers.

Three women died in Qarchak prison, a Tehran women’s prison notorious for abysmal conditions, between September 16 and 25, following a lack of medical care. The deaths highlight Iranian authorities’ violation of prisoners’ right to life.
