I logged on this morning and just stared at the screen because I really did not think people would be paying attention to this nightmare in such a massive way. It feels like the world is finally starting to look at what has been hidden in those cells for way too long and I keep thinking about how Zarina’s story isn't just news anymore but something people are actually furious about.
