Chichester vigil honours victims of Iranian state terrorism

I'm deeply grateful to everyone who stopped to talk, who nodded in solidarity, or simply paused to read the sign today. It means more than you know.

Thanks for remembering those who fought for freedom but were denied a funeral. While we stood there, people were still being executed in Iran. Your attention today wasn't just kind, it was necessary.

The violence hasn't stopped, but neither has resistance. Your compassion today and your willingness to witness are part of that resistance. Thank you for seeing us.

Shiva Knight

North Mead, Chichester
