大象传媒

My heart is with Iranian members of our 大象传媒 community as we continue to witness the impact of Mahsa Amini鈥檚 death while in the custody of authorities in Iran.

On behalf of 大象传媒, I want you to know that we stand in solidarity with all of you in our communities who are impacted by the ongoing situation and share concerns for all Iranians鈥攁nd especially Iranian women鈥攚ho are courageously standing up for human rights at their personal costs.

If you have been affected by the situation in Iran, there is help available within our community. Please reach out.
