Nothing says “we’re a benevolent force for the good of humanity” like preventing people from leaving your country.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The family of Mahsa Amini have been banned from flying to France to collect a top human rights prize in her honour.
She died in hospital in Tehran on 16 September 2022, three days after she was detained by morality police in the capital for allegedly violating Iran’s strict rules requiring women to cover their hair with a hijab, or headscarf.
Witnesses said the 22-year-old Kurd was beaten while in custody, but authorities denied she was mistreated and instead blamed “sudden heart failure” for her death.
In October, the European Union announced it was posthumously awarding its top rights prize to Ms Amini and the global “Woman, Life, Freedom” movement that her death triggered.
Speaking to the AFP news agency, the family’s lawyer, Chirinne Ardakani, said Ms Amini’s mother, father and brother had been “prohibited from boarding the flight that was to take them to France for the presentation of the Sakharov Prize”.
“Their place next Tuesday is at the European Parliament in Strasbourg to receive the Sakharov Prize, with the brave women of Iran,” she said on social media.

Wow I didn’t realise it had been over a year already
Don’t worry, I am sure Denmark anti-blasphemy laws will prevent this from happening again.
That’s a non-sequitur
You bet. Appeasement has no impact on dictatorships supporting human rights.
