After years of dedication, I'm proud to invite you to the launch of Sexual Orientation and Torture: A Global Struggle for Justice. This isn't just another book. It's a witness statement. A refusal to be silent. While the powerful preach 'traditional values,' LGBTQI people are tortured, imprisoned, and erased. How civilized. My co-author Arghavan Shamsara and I have lived this struggle — from her journey to womanhood, to my transformation from bystander to ally. This book exposes hate dressed as policy. Demonization wrapped in religion. Violence sanctioned by silence.

Friday, October 10th, 6:30 PM
The 519 Ballroom, 519 Church Street, Toronto, Canada

I would be deeply grateful if you could help spread the word about this event through your networks. Your voice and platform could make a real difference in bringing this urgent conversation to those who need to hear it.

Be there. Bear witness.
Warm regards,
Ezat
