We deeply mourn the untimely passing of Gatestone Institute's Advisory Board member, former Senator Joe Lieberman -- a true American hero and stellar human being. Together with his beloved Hadassah, he sought to build bridges and was the voice of reason and ethics. May his memory be a blessing.
Bahareh Hedayat is a human rights activist who has spent over six years in an Iranian prison for "insulting" Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and then-President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and for "actions against national security, propagation of falsehoods, mutiny and illegal congregation." Hedayat is the longest serving female prisoner of conscience in Iran.
