Our customers have loved the jewellery from Papital Gallery skilfully made by young women in Iran. Read the statement below from our membership organisation BAFTS Fair Trade Network UK We too are really concerned and horrified by the things we are hearing reported from Iran
🕊️ BAFTS has been watching with deep concern the situation in Iran, and our thoughts are with the artisans that our member .gallery works in solidarity with across the country.
➡️ We are gravely concerned by reports of escalating violence against peaceful protesters, prolonged internet shutdowns, and the severe impact these measures are having on livelihoods.
Many artisans are afraid to leave their homes, workshops have been forced to close, and families are living under extreme psychological pressure, making it impossible for many to work or earn a living.
BAFTS calls on the authorities in Iran to fulfil their obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, including the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.🕊️
