We Stand in Solidarity 


We at Pray the Devil Back to Hell stand in solidarity with the brave women and men of Iran, and highlight the courage of the women who have stepped forward in remarkable numbers to fight for their rights.

It was utterly heartbreaking to learn of Neda Agha-Soltan being shot and losing her life during the protests in Tehran this past Saturday, June 20. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ms. Agha-Soltan's family, as well as the families of many others who have been killed or injured during the protests.
