The people people of iran and historically, you know, we see
00:25:57.482 --> 00:25:58.083
Historically, you know, we see that when the situation in a
00:25:58.216 --> 00:26:00.852
That when the situation in a country gets that bad of other
00:26:00.986 --> 00:26:04.189

That you can be free outside your home?
00:27:19.030 --> 00:27:20.899
Your home? >> i myself have been arrested
00:27:21.032 --> 00:27:21.733
>> i myself have been arrested a lot of times simply because i
00:27:21.866 --> 00:27:25.236
A lot of times simply because i didn't get dressed the way that
00:27:25.370 --> 00:27:29.741
Didn't get dressed the way that the islamic regime wanted me to
00:27:29.874 --> 00:27:30.542
The islamic regime wanted me to get dressed.
00:27:30.675 --> 00:27:30.976
Get dressed. so we as a women in iran had no
00:27:31.109 --> 00:27:33.812
So we as a women in iran had no right to choose what to wear.
00:27:33.945 --> 00:27:36.982
Right to choose what to wear. and not only you know, the way
00:27:37.115 --> 00:27:40.986
And not only you know, the way that we got dress was being
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:41.820
That we got dress was being controlled.
00:27:41.953 --> 00:27:45.090
Controlled. even me as a christian woman
00:27:45.223 --> 00:27:45.890
Even me as a christian woman wherever i went to work i was
00:27:46.024 --> 00:27:49.127
Wherever i went to work i was fired simply because i was a
00:27:49.260 --> 00:27:49.961
Fired simply because i was a christian and they want the
00:27:50.095 --> 00:27:53.231
Christian and they want the muslim women to work.
00:27:53.365 --> 00:27:57.002
Muslim women to work. so we you know, i myself as a
00:27:57.135 --> 00:27:58.169
So we you know, i myself as a christian i experienced all
00:27:58.303 --> 00:28:01.272
Christian i experienced all kind of harassment and so no
00:28:01.406 --> 00:28:05.176
Kind of harassment and so no rights for the women.
00:28:05.310 --> 00:28:05.744
Rights for the women. and according to sharia law so
00:28:05.877 --> 00:28:08.713
And according to sharia law so usually are you know, always
00:28:08.847 --> 00:28:09.414
Usually are you know, always actually not usually are just
00:28:09.547 --> 00:28:12.717
Actually not usually are just for the use of men and they are
00:28:12.851 --> 00:28:13.785
For the use of men and they are worthless and yeah so the
00:28:13.918 --> 00:28:17.022
Worthless and yeah so the situation is is is even more
00:28:17.155 --> 00:28:20.425
Situation is is is even more critical for the women.
00:28:20.558 --> 00:28:21.026
Critical for the women. and i remember at a school so
00:28:21.159 --> 00:28:24.529
And i remember at a school so this is not only for women at a
00:28:24.662 --> 00:28:27.632
This is not only for women at a school when we were growing up
00:28:27.766 --> 00:28:28.400
School when we were growing up we were forced the koran and to
00:28:28.533 --> 00:28:32.037
We were forced the koran and to learn about sharia law in
00:28:32.170 --> 00:28:35.006
Learn about sharia law in arabic by force.
00:28:35.140 --> 00:28:35.507
Arabic by force. so arabic is not our language
00:28:35.640 --> 00:28:39.210
So arabic is not our language farsi.
00:28:39.344 --> 00:28:43.048
Farsi. persian is our language.
00:28:43.214 --> 00:28:43.748
Persian is our language. and we were forced to shout
00:28:43.882 --> 00:28:44.582
And we were forced to shout some slogans to say death to
00:28:44.716 --> 00:28:47.952
Some slogans to say death to america, death to israel.
00:28:48.086 --> 00:28:48.586
America, death to israel. why?
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:48.853
Why? and if we didn't follow the
00:28:48.987 --> 00:28:51.489
And if we didn't follow the rules it could be punished
00:28:51.623 --> 00:28:52.190
Rules it could be punished badly.
00:28:52.323 --> 00:28:54.859
Badly. so we grew up in this situation
00:28:54.993 --> 00:28:55.994
So we grew up in this situation and so it was just hostage as i
00:28:56.127 --> 00:28:59.197
And so it was just hostage as i said, we in iran and steal your

Attacks to our house and privacy on a routine.
00:30:13.605 --> 00:30:16.541
Privacy on a routine. the security authorities would
00:30:16.674 --> 00:30:17.275

Attack clearly. i used to crawl under under the
00:30:28.653 --> 00:30:32.624
I used to crawl under under the bed to hide with fear
00:30:32.757 --> 00:30:33.258
Bed to hide with fear trembling.
00:30:33.391 --> 00:30:33.625
Trembling. however i was witnessing

However i was witnessing everything and in that little
00:30:36.561 --> 00:30:37.162
Everything and in that little kids mind there were tons of
00:30:37.295 --> 00:30:40.632
Kids mind there were tons of questions like where do they
00:30:40.765 --> 00:30:41.366
Questions like where do they take daddy?
00:30:41.499 --> 00:30:44.736
Take daddy? why did they arrest him?
00:30:44.869 --> 00:30:45.403
Why did they arrest him? why do they handcuff him and
00:30:45.537 --> 00:30:46.337
Why do they handcuff him and pull his body aggressively
00:30:46.471 --> 00:30:48.506
Pull his body aggressively underground?

Up and follow them and to stop with all those things in my
00:30:55.780 --> 00:30:56.481
With all those things in my mind i still believed that my

Mind i still believed that my father was destroying this man
00:31:00.518 --> 00:31:04.122
Father was destroying this man in the world and he would come

In the world and he would come back home.
00:31:05.123 --> 00:31:07.825

But this was just the beginning the killing silence after each
00:31:08.793 --> 00:31:10.862
The killing silence after each was even worse.
00:31:10.995 --> 00:31:11.462
Was even worse. walking in the house was like
00:31:14.632 --> 00:31:15.567
Walking in the house was like walking in a battlefield
00:31:15.700 --> 00:31:18.303
Walking in a battlefield everywhere everything was a
00:31:18.436 --> 00:31:19.103
