WHO IS THIS DIVA?

A letter from today’s ⁦@thetimes⁩ with some fine courtroom humour…

Erfan Soltani is scheduled to be executed by hanging in Iran in 48 hours. He was arrested in Karaj on January 9 for taking part in the protests. His family was given just 10 minutes to say goodbye. No lawyer. No fair trial. Days later, the Islamic regime sentenced him to death.

This is the first time in my life I have voted for a Democrat. And out of all the Democrats in this city, this is the last Democrat I ever thought I would vote for. But fellow Republicans, this is necessary. I have no regrets. #nycvotes
