It's been five years that my friend Nilou's been incarcerated. Five YEARS. I can't fathom it. She was such a free spirit; imagining her caged, it's horrible. She did nothing except try to help nature in her own country, #Iran. She deserves freedom. #NiloufarBayani

I wrote more about #Nilou and what she did to get arrested (spoiler: conservation research) here: http://danielhoops.com/blog/2019/10/4/a-friend-incarcerated and here: http://danielhoops.com/blog/2020/5/11/a-brief-update-regarding-niloufar-bayani

A Friend Incarcerated — Daniel Hoops

Niloufar Bayani was a friend of mine during my undergraduate days at McGill. After graduation, though, life took us in different directions and I haven’t spoken to Nilou in years. But then again, almost no one has spoken to Nilou recently.
